Half a century ago, the greatest of all the Angels broadcasters punctuated his call of every victory with four of the most famous words in franchise history: "The halo shines tonight!"
Dick Enberg's exclamation point was not a hokey catch phrase. It was a fact.
The "Big A" is not just a nickname for Angel Stadium. There is an actual big A in the parking lot. It is 230 feet tall, topped by a halo that lights up, visible to fans as well as to motorists on three nearby freeways.
