To say that the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have endured a rough decade may be a bit of an understatement. After a tremendous spate of success at the turn of the century, including six playoff appearances, five division titles, and their lone World Series title, the Angels have seen just one postseason appearance since 2010.
The turn from perennial contender to a middle-of-the-pack team has been rough, but it hasn’t been all bad either. The team has seen some personal success stories, including the development of the game’s best player, Mike Trout, and his three Most Valuable Player Awards.
