Now Playing at Edison Field: ‘The Wanderers’
The Angels’ opening-day, one-run loss to Texas, when they couldn’t score in the ninth inning after loading the bases with nobody out, was a microcosm of their history. They reach the mountaintop, but through some nearly unbelievable bad luck (or seemingly divine intervention) are unable to cross over into the promised land.
Come to think of it, they and their fans have spent 40 years in the desert.
