context_page_description: Major League Baseball is the highest level of play in North American professional baseball and is the organization that operates the National League and the American League. In 2000, the two leagues were officially disbanded as separate legal entities, and all of their rights and functions were consolidated in the commissioner's office. Since that time, Major League Baseball has operated as a single league. Major League Baseball constitutes one of the major professional sports leagues of the United States and Canada and is composed of 30 teams.
  Each team in the league has a manager, who is responsible for team strategy and leadership on and off the field. Assisted by various coaches, the manager sets the line-up and starting pitcher before each game and makes substitutions throughout the game. In early baseball history, it was not uncommon for players to fill multiple roles as player-managers; specifically, they managed the team while still being signed to play for the club. The last player-manager in Major League Baseball was Pete Rose, who began managing the Cincinnati Reds in 1984.
context_section_description: Playing under various names such as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, the California Angels, the Anaheim Angels, and the Los Angeles Angels, the club has been a member of the American League since 1961. The team's first manager, Bill Rigney, led the squad for parts of eight seasons until his release in mid-1969. Mike Scioscia, who was manager for 19 seasons from 2000 through 2018, holds most of the Angels' managerial franchise records. He is the only Angels skipper to be named Manager of the Year, a distinction that he earned twice (2002, 2009). His regular-season wins (1066) and losses (878), postseason wins (21) and losses (24), and winning percentage (.548) are the highest of any manager in team history. Dick Williams is the only Angels manager who has been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Five managers have served multiple terms with the team: Gene Mauch, John McNamara, Buck Rodgers, Marcel Lachemann, and Joe Maddon. On October 16, 2019, the Angels announced that Joe Maddon would be returning to the team as manager.
