Owners edit

Name Years Notes
Gene Autry 1960–1998 Persuaded by baseball executives at the time to take ownership of the expansion team, rather than just the broadcast rights.[1]
Jackie Autry 1998–1999 Became legal owner of the team following her husband Gene Autry's death.[2]
The Walt Disney Company 1999–2003 Effectively took control of the Angels in 1996, when it was able to gain enough support on the board to hire Tony Tavares as team president. Gene Autry remained as chairman until his death in 1998.[3]
Arturo Moreno 2003–present Made history on May 15, 2003, by becoming the first Mexican American and the first Latin American to own a major sports team in the United States when he purchased the Angels from the Walt Disney Company.[4]
