The other half of Southern California baseball bears the iconic Big A visible from the 57 freeway. Mike Trout and the Angels are back in action and this Friday marks the team home opener.

A park with few if any bad seats, a Friday night with a bag of peanuts, an ice cold beer and some baseball is a perfect way to enjoy a weekend with the family, a casual date night, or some rowdy times with friends. Baseball is back and on opening night, things are extra interesting.
