Pending litigation with the Anaheim City Council and the owner's coming to his senses, that is.

To fit in with their soon-to-be-defunt NHL neighbors, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, I suppose.
I am pretty sure that they were originally the "Los Angeles Angels" when they first came into the AL as an expansion franchise. The change to the "California Angels" was a good one -- they should have stayed with that. I think that Eisner pushed the change to "Anaheim Angels" when the Mouse bought the team. He blames Michael Ovitz.
