The Los Angeles Angels are apparently trying their best to forget Shohei Ohtani’s six seasons with them.
The Angels raised eyebrows this week with their latest montage video. On Sunday, the franchise posted a video to social media celebrating the 60-year anniversary of Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.
In the video, a number of memorable moments and figures to have graced the stadium over the decades (in both sports and entertainment) were featured. But there was one notable omission — the ex-Angels star Ohtani.

Among more recent players, current Angels star Mike Trout was featured heavily. Former Angels from the last decade-and-a-half were also featured including Albert Pujols, Jered Weaver, and Ervin Santana (the latter two of whom threw no-hitters at Angel Stadium).
But the baseball megastar Ohtani was nowhere to be found in the video. Ohtani began his MLB career with the Angels and played for them from 2018-23. Over that span, Ohtani made three All-Star teams, won two AL MVPs, earned two Silver Slugger Awards, and first blossomed into the two-way MLB superstar that he has become today.
That said, the Angels clearly do not want to remember any of that now that Ohtani is with the hated rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Ohtani was won back-to-back World Series titles with the Dodgers ever since joining them before the 2024 season, which cannot feel good at all for the Angels (who already snubbed Ohtani in a different way a couple of years ago).
