LA to fight name change
From the AP:
The Angels baseball team is now facing legal opposition from cities on both sides of its new name.
The city of Los Angeles filed a brief Wednesday supporting Anaheim's lawsuit that claims the name Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim violates the team's stadium lease.
You hear that Arte? You're not wanted. Take the hint.
On a related note, Chronicles points out some added ammunition for the city's case. The Yahoo! Angels team page now identifies the club as "Los Angeles Angels" - no Anaheim to be found. My (very limited) understanding is that if there is reason to believe the "of Anaheim" will be dropped for brevity (as it most certainly will - that is the point, after all) there's a very good chance the city would prevail in any lawsuit. I sure hope so.
