Anaheim Angel Manager Mike Scoscia
Thank you very much. What a nice surprise! About a little over a month ago we took some of the magic from the Happiest Place on Earth here at Disneyland and we moved it just about a mile away to Edison Field. The magic that those 25 guys and the passion they had to play baseball brought to this community and to our organization was incredible. And for those guys to work as hard as they did and become world champions was truly an inspiration and we felt all the prayers and all the well wishers that followed us through a long season, to the playoffs - the boost we got was incredible. And we can honestly say that Edison Field became the Happiest Place oE earth for us as Anaheim Angels.

As we start a new holiday season I want to welcome everybody, wish everyone a great holiday season and as we gear up towards next year hopefully that magic that we borrowed will become a permanent fixture down the street and we can keep this feeling for a long time here in Orange County. Thank you very much.
