Welcome back to baseball, y’all. We made it through the 2020 season, participation-trophy expanded playoffs, and “no fans in the stands,” only to be rewarded with a full 162-game schedule, some fans in the stands, and no expanded playoffs in 2021.
Without further ado, I present the first Know Your Enemy of the 2021 season: the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim!
2020 Record: 26-34 (4th place in the AL West)
The Angels were one of the few teams that did not manage to gold-star their way into the expanded playoffs, extending their postseason drought to six years.
