The Los Angeles Angels were far from winning the World Series for 17 seasons since 2002, even though they have the best player of their time Mike Trout.
Since 2011, when Trout made his debut, he has only entered the postseason and finished the fall baseball after losing three games to Kansas City in the division series. Ohtani Shohei's signing did not cause the Angels to fall into weakness.
The Angels fired Brad Ausmus, who had been replaced by veteran Mike Scioscia, in a year, and foreshadowed a new ambition. Maddon was ahead of the competition with Buck Showalter, John Farrell and Johnny Washington.
Maddon, who signed a three-year contract with the Angels on the 17th, took the 2002 team's final World Series title under a coach coach under Scioscia. Prior to that, he played 29 games in 1999, leaving a record of 19 wins and 10 losses.
Billy Eppler said, "We're happy to see Maddon return and show his exciting baseball to fans. He focused on winning while working as a manager, and laid the foundation for players to grow. He led the team to become a World Series champion. I do not doubt it.
Maddon had 1252 wins and 1068 losses and a 0.540 win over 16 years, including two careers. He won one league title at Tampa Bay, and in 2016, he defeated the Cubs and released the Curse of Goat, leading the World Series.
