The 1962 Los Angeles Angels season involved the Angels finishing third in the American League with a record of 86 wins and 76 losses, ten games behind the World Series Champion New York Yankees. The 1962 Angels are one of only two expansion teams to achieve a winning record in its second season of existence in the history of Major League Baseball (the other is the 1999 Arizona Diamondbacks of the National League, who finished as NL West Champions at 100–62). The 1962 Angels was the first Angels team to reside at Dodger Stadium, called Chavez Ravine by the team.
