arturo “arte” Morenoowner

On May 21, 2003, Arte Moreno was introduced as the third owner in Angels’ franchise history. Prior to his acquisition of the Angels, his entrepreneurial talents transformed a small company into an outdoor advertising industry giant.

As owner of the Angels, Moreno’s impact has been immediate. He has guided the Angels with a big market approach which led to two West Division championships and four consecutive seasons drawing over three million fans, resulting in a combined home attendance of 13,248,247. His support of General Manager Bill Stoneman and the Baseball Operations Department has culminated in the key free-agent signings of 2004 A.L. MVP Vladimir Guerrero, 2005 Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colon, Kelvim Escobar, Orlando Cabrera and Gary Matthews Jr.

The 2005 season culminated with the Los Angeles Sports Council awarding Moreno as the Los Angeles Sports Executive of the Year. And earlier that year Time Magazine named him as one of the 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America (Aug. 2005).

In the community, Moreno is dedicated to the support of many causes. Under his leadership, the Angels established the Angels Baseball Foundation in June 2003. The objective of the Foundation is to focus on initiatives aimed to create and improve education, health care, arts and sciences, and community-related youth programs throughout the region, in addition to providing children the opportunity to experience baseball and its positive attributes.

In addition to his responsibilities with the Angels, Moreno is also a member of MLB’s 21st Century Baseball and Marketing committees. In May 2005, he was elected to the Little League Foundation Board of Trustees, an organization that helps offset the annual costs of operating Little Leagues in all fifty U.S. states and more than seventy other countries for more than 2.7 million participants. Moreno has also helped fund the first domestic Baseball Academy, in Compton, California, consisting of two baseball fields, one softball field and a youth field.

Moreno is not new to the game of baseball. In the mid-80s, he was among a group who owned the former single - A Salt Lake Trappers of the Pioneer League. Under his group’s ownership, the Trappers went on to win three championships and established a record -29 consecutive wins. He later was an original minority investor in the Arizona Diamondbacks, and was a former part owner of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns.

A native of Tucson, Arizona, Moreno grew up working in his parents’ print shop, where they published a Spanish-language newspaper. From there he served his country in Viet Nam as a member of the U.S. Army. After his tour of duty, he attended the University of Arizona, graduating with a Bachelors of Science degree in Marketing.

In 1973, Moreno went to work in the outdoor advertising business. Starting at the bottom, he worked his way up to senior management at Gannett Outdoor. In 1984 he entered into a partnership at Outdoor Systems, a small Phoenix-based billboard company and, through aggressive acquisitions and savvy management, built it into the largest outdoor advertising company in North America, including the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Under his leadership, Outdoor Systems became the first outdoor advertising company to go public in 1996. In 1999, the company was sold to Infinity/CBS and in 2000 merged with Viacom.

A respected businessman and loyal family man, Moreno and wife Carole are active in their own philanthropic efforts. They established the Moreno Family Foundation, which supports non-profit organizations focusing on youth and education.

The Moreno’s are the parents of three children and split time between homes in Phoenix and Southern California.

the nicK KaMzic awarD – Scout oF the year

1996 — Moose Stubing1997 — Darrell Miller1998 — Tony LaCava1999 — Tom Burns

The Nick Kamzic Award is given annually to the Angels’ scout who epitomizes the dedication, perseverance and excellence demonstrated by the award’s namesake. Nick Kamzic, a Chicago-based scout in the Angels’ organization for 39 seasons, joined the franchise in its initial 1961 season (he proudly called himself “Mr. Autry’s first hire”) and continued scouting for the Angels through the 1999 season. Named the National Scout of the Year (Midwest) in 1996, he passed away from heart failure, Dec. 12, 2000, one week before his 82nd birthday. Like the many hard-working and dedicated scouts who proudly represent baseball throughout the nation, the following individuals demonstrate those special qualities that have earned them recognition as the Angels’ Scout of the Year:

2000 — Tim Corcoran2001 — Marc Russo/Leo Perez2002 — Kevin Ham2003 — Clay Daniel/Rich Schlenker

2004 — Mike Silvestri/Dale Sutherland2005 — Ron Marigny/Brad Sloan2006 — Jack Uhey/Jeff Schugel
