Congratulations, Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim
Because the "name change" of this Anaheim Angels was a dirty trick to sneak further into the Los Angeles market while adhering to contract obligations to keep Anaheim in the name, we will always refer to the franchise by its full, official, annoying name.
