Originally owned by the Disney Corporation, the Angels were sold in 2003. The new owner, Arturo Moreno immediately changed the team name from the Anaheim Angels to the Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim. In doing so he created a larger fan base for the team and increased revenue. The ANgels have made the playoffs every year since then, and are one of the best teams in Major League Baseball.
Some of the most popular Angels today are John Lackey, Chone Figgins, and Torii Hunter. Chone Figgins is known for his versatility. He has played every position with the exception of First Base, Catcher, and Pitcher. Figgins is considered the top utility player in the Major Leagues.
