Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
This could be the worst idea I've ever heard (it's right up there with the Braille driver's manual):
Los Angeles joined Anaheim in opposing Angel owner Arte Moreno's proposal to change the name of his team to the Los Angeles Angels. In a nonbinding resolution, council members decreed that "Los Angeles is currently home to one and only one Major League Baseball team, and that is the Los Angeles Dodgers."
Meanwhile, the team has offered a compromise to Anaheim, saying it would change its name to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
City officials rejected that too, and reiterated that they will sue the Angels for breach of contract if they remove the city's name from the team.
I like Ben Maller's take: "Artie Marino should change the name of the Angels to the "New York Angels"... They can take the NY and place it on the cap... bring back pinstripes... just think of the extra TV revenue..."
