context_page_description: The 1903 Los Angeles Angels season was part of the first season of the Pacific Coast League. The Los Angeles Angels had begun play in 1901 in the California League, joined the new league upon its inception, and won the first PCL pennant with a 133–78 record. The team, frequently referred to as the Loo-Loos in its early years, played its home games at Chutes Park, an amusement park south of downtown Los Angeles.
  The 1903 Angels were selected in 2003 by a panel of minor league experts as the fifth best team in the PCL's 100-year history. The team was also selected by Minor League Baseball as the 29th best team in minor league history.
context_section_description: Frank Dillon was the team's manager and first baseman. He compiled a .364 batting average and led the PCL with 274 hits. The Angels' lead over its PCL opponents was so large that Dillon was able to leave the team late in August to be married and enjoy a honeymoon.
  Center fielder Dummy Hoy, at age 41, appeared in every game for the Angels. He was the most accomplished deaf player in baseball history, having played 14 seasons in Major League Baseball from 1889 to 1902. He set major league records for career putouts (3,958) and total chances (4,625) by an outfielder.
  Right fielder Gavvy Cravath, at age 22, led the team with seven home runs. Cravath remained with the Angels through the 1907 season, then played 11 seasons in the majors, leading the National League in home runs six times between 1913 and 1919.
  Second baseman George Wheeler appeared in 198 games, including 12 games a pitcher in which he compiled an 8–1 win–loss record and team-best 1.92 earned run average.
  Third baseman Jud Smith led the PCL in both assists and total chances.
