Arte Moreno became Angels owner 23 years ago and initially lowered beer prices, distributed sombreros honoring his Mexican heritage, and framed the team’s status as the top in baseball. He said his responsibility was to take care of Angels fans, live up to tradition, and make people comfortable at Angel Stadium. Over time, those promises eroded: fans chant profanely, protest, and despise him. The franchise has suffered 11 straight playoff absences, 10 straight sub-.500 seasons, and is described as the worst in baseball. The stadium comfort Moreno promised is portrayed as possible only when he is not present.
