my first Angels cap is the CA Angels cap. :mrgreen:

When did they change the name from California Angels to Anaheim? I', guessing when the Disney company bought a stake in the team from Autry. Am I wrong?

While I hate the Angels (circa 2002 :mecry:) I really despise whoever came up with the idea of the rename to the LAAoA. It would be like the A's becoming the "San Francisco Athletics of Oakland/East Bay". Stupid. Utterly stupid.

hmm.. IIRC, the cap is from '85.

dont remember the exact year when they changed to anaheim angels... but yeah, seems likely to be the year Disney picked them up.

I despised the Angels from the get-go even when they were called the Los Angeles Angels.

What a buncha wishy washy flakes.

They're currently called the Los Angeles/Anaheim/California/Disneyland/Podunk Angels... They'll be renamed again next year. :shakehead:

I think the full name is: "The Los Angeles Angels of Orange County in Anaheim at Edison Field near Disneyland" (but I could be wrong!)

How about "The other baseball team in L.A. that's not the Dodgers?"

Sorta rolls off your tongue, doesn't it? ;)

:lol: Like molasses. :hehe:

The Dodgers fired Jim Tracy, (although Tracy is saying he wasn't fired) Sure, he wasn't the greatest manager ever, but I don't think anybody else could have done any better with the Dodgers this year. DePodesta-san baka yaro!!! :banghead:

Hey, Lou Pinella's looking for a job.............. :rolleyes:

Lou Piniella and Paul DePodesta, , , , , After about 30 seconds of that relationship DePodesta would need to find a good plastic surgeon. :shakehead:

Or DePodesta would go home in a body bag. :hehe:

The Cardinals and White Sox both won their first games. If they both get to the World Series, I just know some idiot American reporter is going to go up to Taguchi and Iguchi and ask, "So, are you two guys related?" :banghead:

This series is bad for me. On the one hand, the Angels. Down the Angels. On the other? The Yankees. Down the Yankees. Hey Comish Selig, could both of these teams eliminate each other? :victory:

It must.

Hey if Selig could declare the All-Star Game as a tie, he could come up with some rule that eliminates both teams in the same round. :rolleyes: :hehe:

Good point.

I'm sure King George would have a major conniption, though.
