Photo: Angels Rookies Make Starbucks Run for Team in Full Uniform Ahead of Cubs Game

The Los Angeles Angels got involved with a budding Major League Baseball tradition Saturday by having their rookies go on a coffee run outside the Chicago Cubs' Wrigley Field while in full uniform.

Erica Weston of Bally Sports West posted a photo of several Angels rookies picking up an order at Starbucks while decked out in their gameday attire:

The Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado Rockies are just a few of the other teams that have done something similar with their rookies prior to road games against the Cubs in recent years.

Catcher Logan O'Hoppe and first baseman Nolan Schanuel were among the Angels rookies who took part in the light-hearted stunt on Saturday.

The current Angels roster is far younger and less heralded right now than it has been in recent years, as they lost Shohei Ohtani to the Los Angeles Dodgers in free agency and Mike Trout is on the injured list.

As a result, the Angels are just 36-51, and they are trending toward missing the playoffs for a 10th consecutive season.

Despite major success likely not being on the horizon, there is some hope for better days in the future thanks to some of the Angels' young players.

O'Hoppe has arguably been L.A.'s most consistent hitter while Trout has been on the shelf, as he is slashing .275/.326/.469 with 12 home runs and 38 RBI.

Meanwhile, Schanuel has been hitting high in the lineup, and he is slashing .237/.309/.348 with eight homers and 30 RBI.

The Angels are coming off a 5-1 loss to the Cubs in their season-opening game Friday, but perhaps the coffee delivered by the team's rookies will give them a bit more pep in their step for Game 2 of the series Saturday afternoon.
