Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In first place by 11 games in August, the Angels again lost key personnel, particularly shortstop Gary DiSarcina in the final stretch and ended up in a tie with the Seattle Mariners for the A.L. West Division championship. |
 | | Seattle, managed by Lou Pinella, and led by star pitcher Randy Johnson, won the division title (the Mariners' first American League West title) in a one game playoff, which the M’s won 9-1. |
 | | Given the team's inability to win a pennant thus far, the postseason disasters of 1982 and 1986, the 1995 collapse, and such tragic events as the 1978 murder of outfielder Lyman Bostock and the events that led to the suicide of Donnie Moore, it was suggested that there must be a "curse" on the Angels. |
