Why?

I can't see why they want to change their name? Maybe some people don't know where Anaheim is, so they need to be able to better associate the team with an area? I dunno.

Re: Why?

There's only ONE REAL LA team, the Dodgers, sorry Angels I don't see why they changed their name in the first place, I thought the Anaheim Angels sounded fine, I still call them that, and Edison Field is still Anaheim Stadium to me

Whippersnapper! They'll always be the Calif Angels to me, and that stadium will be The Big A, Angels Stadium. Bring back the halo cap, too.
