A Message from the SF Angels' Travel Director:

"Almost all the teams we face this year will be stronger than last year's versions. The Angels need solid veterans, talented younger players, with a well-balanced lineup and pitching staff, in order to achieve our goals of a winning record, victory in one of the NBC tournaments, success into the AABC regional. And world domination!"
