On Friday the Texas Rangers will play their rivals, the Los Angeles Angels for the first time since Josh Hamilton was traded back to Texas from L.A. in late April. For the vast majority of Hamilton’s time in southern California, the Angels tried to portray him as an irresponsible villain but recent events have begun to shed light on the fact that the Angels are a dysfunctional family to whom Hamilton owes nothing.
Since Mike Scioscia’s managerial run began in 2000, the Angels have earned the reputation as one of the most well run organizations in sports.
