Battle for the Angels
Anaheim is going to court to try to block the Angel's name change.
Anaheim officials claim the name violates a stadium lease agreement that has provided nearly $30 million in public subsidies to renovate the club's ballpark.
Anaheim argues that the change hurts its ability to market itself as a tourist destination -- a key issue in a city that depends on a hotel room tax as its largest source of income.

The City of Anaheim is 100% right. Besides, the LA team
of record has plenty of problems right now. Of the 2 teams, I would've thought of Anaheim as the one with
class and style.
I think the city's main point should be that something as stupid as "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" shouldn't be allowed to stand. It's a blatant effort of trying to please both cities and alienating both. Make up your mind, will ya? Pick a city and stick to it!
