Angels Owners (We Have Heard) Are High

The Anaheim Angels (formerly known as California Angels) have now changed their name to The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. This just doesn't make sense to me on several levels.


  • They aren't in Los Angeles. They are, in fact, in Anaheim. (As the latter part of their name might suggest.)
  • There is already a baseball team in Los Angeles. They are known as the Dodgers and have been in their current city since the 1950's.
  • Los Angeles and Anaheim are entirely different cities.
  • "Angeles Angels" is just asking for spelling and pronunciation problems. There's a reason we don't have the Phoenix Phoenixes. Or the Tucson Tuscan Raiders.


At least they aren't playing at "Oriole Park at Camden Yards."
