Angels Front Office Executives

In May of 2003, Arte and Carole Moreno were introduced as the third owners in Angels franchise history and their impact was immediate. The Morenos have guided the franchise to six A.L. West Division titles and 17 seasons drawing over three million fans, resulting in a total home attendance of over 55 million fans. In July of 2018, Arte received the distinct honor of being elected to the Board of Directors for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY.

Arte and Carole's focus is balanced between baseball, business operations and fan experience. During their tenure, the Morenos' support of the baseball operations department has resulted in the acquisition of many key players, including Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero, three-time N.L. MVP Albert Pujols, nine-time Gold Glover Torii Hunter, 2009 World Series MVP Hideki Matsui, 2005 A.L. Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colón, and several others. In 2019, the Morenos signed three-time A.L. MVP Mike Trout to a record-setting 12-year contract extension effectively keeping the 10-time All-Star a member of the Halos for the remainder of his historic career. Additionally, in December of 2017, the Morenos oversaw the successful recruitment of two-way player and future Rookie of the Year and MVP Shohei Ohtani.

During the family’s tenure, the organization has also continued to cultivate players from its farm system. Their dedication has paid dividends in the development of significant current layers such as Trout, David Fletcher, Taylor Ward, Jared Walsh, Jose Suarez and Reid Detmers with prospects Zach Neto, Ky Bush and Ben Joyce on the Major League horizon.

Over the past 20 years, Arte and Carole have strengthened the Club’s commitment to local communities and beyond. In 2004, the Morenos established the Angels Baseball Foundation concentrating on investments in education, health care, arts & sciences and community-related youth programs to experience the positive attributes of baseball. The Foundation distributes annual grants to various youth programs within Southern California. The Angels Scholars program works with the Orange County Office of Education and the college preparatory AVID program to award several annual college scholarships. Since purchasing the Club in 2003, the Morenos, the Angels and the Angels Baseball Foundation have contributed over $20 million to various charitable efforts with a primary focus in the Orange County area.

In 2010, the Angels were privileged to host their third All-Star Game (also 1967 & 1989). In conjunction with MLB’s All-Star Legacy Fund, the foundation funded renovation of softball fields at Anaheim’s Pioneer Park (into the MLB Angels All-Star Complex) as well as the special-surfaced field for the Miracle League of Orange County for disabled youth. Prior to the 2022 season, the Angels Baseball Foundation, while partnering with Magical Builders and Anaheim Hills Little League, completely renovated two local little league fields, complete with new pitching mounds, backstops, 75 tons of infield mix and 6,500 square feet of hybrid-Bermuda grass. The Foundation regularly donates tickets, memorabilia and ballpark experiences to the various groups and fundraisers.

In addition to their responsibilities with the Angels and various committees within MLB, the Morenos were part of ownership of the former Single-A Salt Lake Trappers of the Pioneer League. Under their leadership, the Trappers won three championships. Arte and Carole were also original investors in the Arizona Diamondbacks (including their 2001 World Series championship) and in a partnered ownership of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns.

The Moreno family is also active in their own philanthropic efforts. In 1997, they established the Moreno Family Foundation to support nonprofit organizations focusing on youth and education as well as investing in educational scholarships in K-8, high school and college. Their favorite charities include St. Vincent de Paul, St. Mary’s Food Bank, the Barrow Neurological Institute, Boys & Girls Clubs, UMOM Homeless Shelters, American Heart Association and Fresh Start Women’s Foundation. The Morenos were previously members of the Little League Foundation’s Board of Trustees, which assists Little Leagues in every state and more than 70 other countries. For her continued philanthropic efforts, Carole Moreno was honored by the Girl Scouts of Orange County as their 2019 G.I.R.L. (Go-Getter, Innovator, Risk-Taker, Leader) honoree.

Carole was born in Reno, NV, and moved often as the daughter of a career Air Force man. She spent much of her youth in Fredonia, KS, and went on to earn a degree in journalism from the University of Kansas.
