What is Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?The team that has dominated in the new millenium. Vladimir Guerrero, Orlando Cabrera, Chone Figgins, Garrett Andersen, and new rookies such as Mike Napoli and the soon to be rookie of the year Jared Weaver. The Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim should be renamed the Southern California Angels so everyone is happy. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim - videoLos Angeles Angels of Anaheim - what is it?The new (and original) name for the Angels. Started with Los Angeles, then California, then Anaheim (when Disney also had a gay logo for the team), then back to Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. On TV, the three letters featured for sports scores are shown as LAA, with the dodgers as LAD. Tickets printed from the Angels box office are shown as just ANGELS, ie ANGELS vs BOSTON RED SOX. I don't care that our team name is the Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim cuz at the end of the day, we're still kicking dodger blue ass. What does "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" mean?A MLB team with an identity crisis, so they created this ridiculous name for their team. Nobody cared about them as the "California Angels" and nobody cared about them as the "Anaheim Angels," so they tried this newest name. Sadly, it hasn't helped, and even though they fluked their way to a World Series Championship in 2002, nobody cares about this team. Perhaps some other teams that nobody cares about should try renaming themselves similarly, such as "The Washington Nationals of the District of Columbia." The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are sad. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim - what does it mean?The current name of the MLB team, the Angels, located in Anaheim, California. What many don't seem to realize is that the Angels were originally the "Los Angeles Angels" when they formed in 1961, as they played in Los Angeles. Since their move in 1967 to their new home in Anaheim, the Angels have undergone many name changes, from the "California Angels" (1965-1996) to the "Anaheim Angels" (1997-2004) and now the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (2005-present). The revert to the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" was a marketing strategy by new club owner Arte Moreno, who changed the team name back to their original identity, in effort to advertise the team to all of Southern California. His marketing strategy has worked, as the value of the team has nearly quintupled since he purchased it. Furthermore, he has worked out a major syndication deal with Fox Sports that has allowed him to support one of the largest payrolls in all of baseball. Most fans have long-since adapted to the new name, and most of the trashtalk lingering is coming from the Dodgers fans envious of their superior cross-town rivals, while they are forced to sit in squalor in a sespit that houses their team. They joke about the Angels wishing they were in L.A, but neglect to admit that the Angels have a larger payroll, and more fans in attendance than any Dodger game - they also are too embarrassed to admit that the only famous athelete on their team is the owner, Magic Johnson. Angel fan: "Hey, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are playing tonight!" |
