The California Angels 1982 season involved the Angels finishing 1st in the American League west with a record of 93 wins and 69 losses.

Offseason

December 6, 1981: Bob Boone was purchased by the Angels from the Philadelphia Phillies.^[1]
December 7, 1981: José Moreno was selected by the Angels from the San Diego Padres in the rule 5 draft.^[2]

January 28, 1982: Dan Ford was traded by the California Angels to the Baltimore Orioles for Doug DeCinces and Jeff Schneider.^[6]

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.
