2000 Anaheim Angels season

The 2000 Anaheim Angels season was the 40th season of the Anaheim Angels franchise in the American League, the 35th in Anaheim, and their 35th season playing their home games at Edison International Field of Anaheim. The Angels finished third in the American League West with a record of 82 wins and 80 losses.
The Angels had an extremely powerful offense, with five players hitting at least 25 homers and driving in 97 runs. Glaus led the AL in HRs, and Erstad had the most hits on his way to a.355 batting average. However, the pitching was very inconsistent. Reliever Shigetoshi Hasegawa led the team with 10 wins. Scott Schoeneweis led all starting pitchers in innings pitched with 170 and also led all starters with a 5.45 ERA.
