In 1958 the Brooklyn Dodgers moved to Los Angeles, and in 1961 the American League decided to put another team in the City of Angels, and the Los Angeles Angels were born. On the left is their original logo from the ’61 season, on the right is the stadium logo from that same season. The team played in a minor league stadium known as “Wrigley Field” in their inaugural season, then were tenants of the Dodgers in Dodger Stadium starting in 1962, with the stadium being called “Chavez Ravine” for Angels’ games. The club was founded by the old cowboy entertainer, Gene Autry, and he owned them until 1996. The team’s original baseball caps were unique in that they had halos on the top of the cap. One player from the original 1961 squad, shortstop Jim Fregosi, had his number retired by the franchise.
