What’s in a Name?

The Angels may get to drop “of Anaheim” from their name when they sign a new lease deal. That would make things easier for listing the team, as they would fit into the “Location Nickname” format everyone else uses. I will miss referring to them as LAnaheim, however.

Teams used to change their nicknames often, especially early in the 20th century. This franchise has always been the Angels, but they have trouble deciding on a location. I suspect at some point in my lifetime they’ll be the OC Angels.

    They ought to build a “water feature” in the outfield and call it Bedford Falls. Then they could name the team the Bedford Falls Angels.

    Hey, what the heck. They’re a Southern Ca. team only 20 or 30 miles from Hollywood, right?
