Halos fan here, but a team playing in Disneyland's hometown calling themselves the "Los Angeles" Angels is...well...goofy.

[JohnBrowdie]

the should rename themselves, “the identity crisis angels of anahole”.

[ilgipper]

I agree. It’s goofy already, though, with their current name...IMO, they need to pick one of the other. Either LA Angels and Anaheim Angels (or back to California Angels). The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim is one of the silliest names I recall.

I suppose if the New York Giants and NY Jets can play in New Jersey, the LA Angels can play in Anaheim, right??

[FlingWingFlyer]

I imagine it won’t be long before the atheists demand that they drop the “Angels” part too.

[oldbrowser]

Based on their lack of success this year, why tarnish Anaheim's good name with the Angels?

Orange county angels-still too close

How about Earth Angels?

Disgruntled fan.

I just want to know why they're not called "Disney's Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim."

Why is it that the world never remembered the name of Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft of Anaheim?

The Pitcherless Angels of Anaheim has a certain ring to it.

[Michael.SF.]

Lost Angeles Angels of Anaheim are not the only ones with a geography issue.

[fungoking]

Maybe they would be better served by spending their time developing a pitching staff and not overpaying for free agents instead of worrying about their name...again.

[DigitalVideoDude]

Played As:
1961-1964 -> Los Angeles Angels
1965-1996 -> California Angels
1997-2004 -> Anaheim Angels
2005-Today-> Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

I prefer 'California Angels' myself.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Maybe Los Angeles should just sell naming rights to the city to Microsoft or Toshiba and be done with it.

[rottndog]

The were the first MLB team in SoCal...

SoCal Angels?

Hey, they’re the hottest team in baseball right now, so Arte can do whatever he wants.

[chrisinoc]

Adding “Los Angeles” to the team name was a ploy to get Westside, South Bay, and San Fernando Valley people to come to or watch Angel games. IMHO it doesn't work.
