The rumor back then was that Angel Stadium is built on old Indian graveyard.

So maybe that's it lol.

On a more serious note, I hope Baylor comes back in good shape. What terrible luck. Nice to see Vladdy (who threw the first pitch to Baylor) come back and sign a one-day contract to retire as an Angel.

Then get Trout out of there now. Please. For the good of mankind. I don't want to see him become a Yankee or Dodger, but if that has to happen, so be it. Just get him away from the cursed structure so I can watch him play for the next couple of decades, k, thx.
