"The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim"?!
Can anyone explain this to me?

Los Angeles Angels?
California Angels?
Anaheim Angels?

Why go with the longest MLB team name in history?

2. I know...
the LAAA--sounds like some AA group instead of a baseball team. This I have to say is where Artie Moreno dropped the ball!! Go figure!

4. the LA Dodgers are now LAD on ESPN
Used to just be LA. At first glance I thought, who is Lad? Then I realized that they are doing that to differentiate them from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. How are they gonna abbreviate that...LAA or LAAoA? Pretty f'ing stupid, if you ask me.
