Offseason
- December 6, 1981: Bob Boone was purchased by the Angels from the Philadelphia Phillies.[1]
- December 7, 1981: José Moreno was selected by the Angels from the San Diego Padres in the rule 5 draft.[2]

Regular season
- April 27, 1982: Reggie Jackson returned to Yankee Stadium with the Angels. He broke out of a terrible season-starting slump to hit a home run off former teammate Ron Guidry. The at-bat began with Yankee fans, angry at owner George Steinbrenner for letting Jackson get away, starting the "Reg-GIE!" chant, and ended it with the fans chanting "Steinbrenner sucks!" By the time of Jackson's election to the Hall of Fame, Steinbrenner had begun to say that letting him go was the biggest mistake he has made as Yankee owner.
