Favorite angels fans story

I was at the coliseum for an a’s-angels game last year when nomar came up to bat. There were 4 angels fans sitting behind me who were talking about nomar, as if they were the knowledgeable baseball fans that all angels fans claim to be.

“Oh yeah he had those few good years with the dodgers.”
“Oh and remember when he played on the cubs before that?”
“Oh didn’t he play for someone else?”
“Um… I think he’s played for a bunch of teams. Just made his living off playing for teams for a few years.”

I swear to god, it’s like those people didn’t know that baseball existed before 2002.
