Must have been a dream come true to interview the GM of our favorite team! <BR/><BR/>Mr. Reagins, thank you for taking the time to do this, especially during this busy time of the year! It really makes the Angels organization stand out as community-oriented, when the upper brass interacts with the fans.

Growing up somewhat locally, going to college in Orange County, and stating with the Angels at a young age, do you feel that you're ties to southern California benefited you when you interviewed for the General Manager position? Your understanding of the local landscapes and markets should benefit you, no? Do you feel that you have a good relationship with the local high schools and colleges? Any, specifically?Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01390273430337297270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026253508517273511.post-12107183455540153972007-11-20T06:47:00.000-08:002007-11-20T06:47:00.000-08:00Tony, impressive trade!
