M-I-C, See You Turn Out Light, Disney

Oh, if the rumor proves true that Disney is selling the Angels, what a glorious day for baseball purists who attend games at Edison Field! Hopefully then, departing with Eisner and Mickey will be most of the taped “make noise” sound effects, the nonstop drum cadences from Queen, and especially the ludicrously deafening five-second hard-rock sound bites that Disney believes is essential to one’s enjoyment of the games at Edison.

What idiot thought that five seconds of Jimi Hendrix or AC/DC (I love both) blaring constantly for nine innings at near-concert volume adds the slightest enjoyment to the game?

Hopefully, whoever buys the Angels will realize the incredible enjoyment found in the great game itself, and in the process save its fans from going deaf, and bring pure pleasure back to attending ballgames at Edison.

See you on the funny pages, Mickey!

As longtime Angel fans, we relish the idea of Disney selling the team to baseball interests such as former commissioner Peter Ueberroth. The atmosphere at Angel games has descended to the level of titillation on TV’s “The Price is Right.” Larger than life, furry three-fingered animal characters bombard the crowd with bazookas filled with trite commodities. Fans (and players) are continually denied psychological space to process the last half-inning’s events. The scoreboard issues forth endless images of past Angel successes in an attempt to cajole its viewers into feelings of excitement while denying the reality of a current losing effort.

My fervent wish is that Disney will walk away from the Angels and be replaced by an owner who will say, “Put aside a showcase stadium, I am committed to creating for you, the fans, the Angels’ first championship team. That is my only commitment as owner.”
