Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Tickets

After a slow start to the season, the Los Angeles Angels are beginning to look like a legitimate contender in the American League. Led by young superstar Mike Trout, the Angels won eight in a row from May 18-26, and now look to insert themselves in the discussion for best in the American League West. The 21-year-old Trout has kept the team afloat throughout the year, ranking in the MLB’s top 10 in hits, runs, triples, RBI, slugging percentage, and steals through May 27, while also anchoring the team’s defense with his superb play in center field. Mark Trumbo (11 home runs) and Howie Kendrick (.305 batting average) have also helped the team get hot, as has the improved play of sluggers Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton, high-profile free-agent acquisitions from 2012 and 2013, respectively.

The Angles starting rotation has been a bright spot, as starters C.J. Wilson, Jason Vargas, and Jerome Williams—4-1 with a sparkling 2.58 ERA—have all earned four wins apiece. The anticipated return of the team’s ace, three-time All-Star Jered Weaver—out since April 8 with an elbow injury—will only bolster a pitching staff that has performed well in his absence. With a purchase of Angels tickets from Vivid Seats, you can experience the team’s thrilling push for a postseason berth in 2013.

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim were the talk of the league last year after signing coveted free agent, Albert Pujols, and following the 2012 campaign, they struck gold once again with the addition of 2010 AL MVP, Josh Hamilton. Between the aforementioned sluggers and return of Rookie of the Year, Mike Trout, the Angels are undoubtedly the team to beat in the AL West, if not the majors. In addition to the solid offensive army they’ve assembled, the club also added pitchers, Sean Burnett, Ryan Madson, and Tommy Hanson. The anticipation is mounting so purchase your 2013 LA Angels tickets early to have your pick of seats at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.

A number of marquee games adorn the 2013 LA Angels schedule in the opening month of the season, beginning on the road at the NL’s Cincinnati Reds on April 1. After completing the three-game series on the 4^th, the Angels will take on Hamilton’s former team, the Texas Rangers, through the weekend, April 5-7, before finally heading home to host consecutive three-game stints against the Oakland A’s, April 9-11, and new AL foe, Houston Astros, April 12-14. The Detroit Tigers also will head to town in April, as well as the Rangers for another showdown.

On December 8th, the Los Angeles Angels made one of the boldest free agency moves in recent memory. Only hours after signing star pitcher C. J. Wilson to a deal worth $77.5 million, the Angels signed future Hall-of-Famer Albert Pujols to a 10-year, $254 million deal. Winning the bidding war for baseball's biggest star, the franchise can expect to be selling plenty of 2012 Angels tickets this season. Pujols will be expected to help the Angels win their second World Series title now that he is the best paid first baseman in the majors. The three-time NL MVP will be joining a ball club that won 86 games last season. On the Angels' roster presently, Mark Trumbo and Tori Hunter are fine run producers in their own right and LA has three solid starting pitchers in Jered Weaver, Ervin Santana, and Dan Haren. While some may question the team's decision to invest so much money in one player, Pujols and the Angels can silence all their critics starting in 2012.

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will set out to honor the franchise’s half century of history this season. The Angels’ 50th season of play will commence on March 31st on the road against the Kansas City Royals. This spring, Angels manager Mike Scioscia will be looking to reinvigorate his ball club that is coming off a 80-82 season. Before last year, the Angels had won three consecutive American League West titles. The Halos struggled so mightily at the plate that Torii Hunter lead the team with only 90 RBIs. To help solve their run production woes, the Angels front office brought in experienced slugger Vernon Wells. 2011 Angels ticket holders are anticipating Wells and his trademark power to do wonders in Anaheim. The 12-year pro has hit more than 30 home runs three times in his career, including the 31 dingers he knocked out of the park last year for Toronto. With Wells’ added firepower, the Angels will hope to celebrate their “Golden Birthday” with a return to the playoffs.
