The 2011 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim season was the franchise's 51st season and 46th in Anaheim. The Angels began the season following a disappointing 2010 campaign where they missed the postseason for the first time since 2006, after winning the American League West three times in a row from 2007 to 2009. During the 2011 season, the Angels celebrated the franchise's 50th anniversary (while the team was created on December 6, 1960, the Angels decided to honor the 50th after 2010 ended). Marking the occasion for the "golden Anniversary" was the adding of gold trim was to the uniforms including the halo on both the cap and uniform (the halo from 1993 to 1996, 2002–2010 was silver and gold prior to that). On June 14, they beat the Seattle Mariners 4-0 to earn their 4,000th win in team history.[1][2][3] The season saw the debut of Mike Trout, who made his major league debut on July 8, 2011. Although he batted .220 during his brief time on the year, he would be back the following season as the regular fielder for the team.
