    The former bench coach of the Angels won a World Series ring while with them in 2002.

(Florida Today)

    His own man: Maddon lives by his terms  Oct 22, 2008

    Spin Forward: Believe the Rays' hype  Oct 20, 2008
    In the '02 postseason, the Angels -- and their bench coach, Maddon -- won their only World Series -- largely on the unknown arm of K-Rod, the reliever who hadn't reached the AL until Sept. 18 of that year and became an October secret weapon.

    Rays hoping to thwart a Red Sox roll  Oct 18, 2008
    Hendu's two-run homer in the ninth and subsequent sacrifice fly in the 11th stunned the Angels in Game 5 of the 1986 ALCS, after which only a shell of the Halos showed up in Fenway Park to lay down in the last two games of Boston's first comeback from 3-1.

    Red Sox have no answers  Oct 15, 2008
    "I'll tell you the truth, in both series [the Division Series against the Angels and the ALCS], Papi does not come up with men on base all the time. "So I'm not gonna change the game when we're losing by nine, 10 runs. " Ortiz, who snapped his 0-for-12 series with a seventh-inning triple, has batted with eight men on base during the first four games on the ALCS -- only two of them in scoring position. He has also gone 45 at-bats without a home run since Sept. 22, growing evidence that full... (MLB.com)

    Big games, and an identity, for the Trop  Oct 10, 2008
    "Coming in here with [the Angels] in the past, we hated to come to this building ... so if you have a home-field situation like this, you should make it your home-field advantage maybe more than another team. Right now, obviously, we are in that position, and I like that. I want it to be a very uncomfortable place for other teams to play.". Tropicana Field's charm has worked particularly well for the Rays against Friday's foe, the Red Sox. (MLB.com -- Tampa Bay Devil Rays)

    Ortiz primed for productive ALCS  Oct 10, 2008
    " To be exact, Ortiz got Garza twice the last time, drilling two home runs off him on Sept. 17 in a 10-3 Tampa Bay victory. But those were Ortiz's first hits off Garza in 10 career at-bats. Those were also two of Ortiz's total of three homers this season off Tampa Bay pitching -- an amazing turn of events considering the likable designated hitter's lifetime feast against it.
