Before leaving for the ballpark, Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak, who is from Encinitas but lives in Orange County now, grabs coffee and maybe a bagel, spends some time with his girlfriend and watches the waves at the beach.
Having that down time to himself before coming to work is a routine he incorporated about a year and half ago, instead of waking up and heading right for a ballpark.
"You know, do something during the day that is outside of baseball to kind of make things a little more normal," Moniak said before the Angels beat the Boston Red Sox 4-0 on Tuesday.
