The 1982 California Angels season was the 22nd season of the California Angels franchise in the American League, the 17th in Anaheim, and their 17th season playing their home games at Anaheim Stadium. The Angels finished first in the American League West for the second time in team history, with a record of 93 wins and 69 losses. However, the Angels fell to the Milwaukee Brewers in the ALCS in 5 games. This was future Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson’s first season with the Angels.

Offseason

  • December 6, 1981: Bob Boone was purchased by the Angels from the Philadelphia Phillies.
  • December 7, 1981: José Moreno was selected by the Angels from the San Diego Padres in the rule 5 draft.
  • December 8, 1981: Dave Smith was selected by the Angels from the New York Mets in the minor league draft.
  • December 11, 1981: Brian Harper was traded by the Angels to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Tim Foli.
  • January 22, 1982: Reggie Jackson was signed as a free agent by the California Angels.
  • January 28, 1982: Dan Ford was traded by the California Angels to the Baltimore Orioles for Doug DeCinces and Jeff Schneider.

Regular season

  • April 27, 1982: Reggie Jackson returned to Yankee Stadium with the Angels. He broke out of a terrible season-starting slump to hit a home run off former teammate Ron Guidry. The at-bat began with Yankee fans, angry at owner George Steinbrenner for letting Jackson get away, starting the "Reg-GIE!" chant, and ended it with the fans chanting "Steinbrenner sucks!" By the time of Jackson's election to the Hall of Fame, Steinbrenner had begun to say that letting him go was the biggest mistake he has made as Yankee owner.
