In 1960, the American League announced plans to place an expansion team in Los Angeles, to begin play in 1961. Gene Autry, former actor and owner of a number of radio and TV stations on the west coast, attended the Major League Owners’ meeting in St. Louis in 1960 in hopes of winning broadcasting rights for the new team’s games. After two different bids to acquire the new A.L. team failed, it was suggested to Autry that he acquire the team itself. Autry agreed, and purchased the franchise, which he named the Los Angeles Angels after the long-successful PCL team.

Then came 2002. Unfancied by pundits before the season, the Angels exceeded expectations, winning 99 games and edging out Seattle for the American League "wildcard" berth in the postseason. They defeated the New York Yankees 3 games to 1 in the American League Division Series and the Minnesota Twins 4 games to 1 in the ALCS to advance to the World Series for the first time in franchise history. In the World Series they defeated the San Francisco Giants in seven games, after losing three of the first five. Down 3 games to 2, the Angels found themselves behind 5-0 in Game Six with but eight outs remaining and no one on base. In the greatest comeback in World Series history by a team facing elimination, the Halos rallied to win 6-5, then won the 7th game 4-1 to win their first and only World Series. Third baseman Troy Glaus was named the MVP of the Series. Twenty-year-old rookie relief pitcher Francisco Rodríguez won five postseason games, never having won a major league game before. Angel pitcher John Lackey became the first rookie pitcher to win the 7th game of the World Series in 93 years.

On May 15, 2003, the Angels became the first major sports team to be owned by a Hispanic, when the sale of the team from The Walt Disney Company to Arturo Moreno was approved.
