I still dislike the name: LA Dodgers. Dodgers were Brooklynites living in the borough of Brooklyn, NYC and the team was named after them ‘dodging streetcars, dodgers’ hence the name. That team in LA should be called the LA Smogers, or the LA Whatevers but not the Dodgers. IMHO

L.A. Lakers (nee Minneapolis Lakers) makes even less sense.
