Reminded me of this…

As a kid, I was a “Little Angel” + could watch the abysmal California Angels play for a quarter… We’d ride over on our bikes… past the Autry car w/ the longhorns mounted on the front… + spend an hour or so heckling the players as we goofed behind the dugout… eating a hot dog in the summer sun… For a major league team, the Angels were once majorly awful… but we didn’t care… we kids pretty much had the ball park to ourselves…
