Using Anaheim
John Thorn, author of The Hidden Game of Baseball testified on Thursday in the Angels name trial.
On Thursday, baseball historian John Thorn testified that Anaheim has disappeared "about 99.9 percent of the time" from public reports on the team. He said such Web sites as Yahoo Sports and ESPN.com use "Los Angeles" or "Los Angeles Angels" when reporting scores.
Angels attorney Todd Theodora said "Anaheim" has continued to appear in several publications including the Ottawa Sun, The Missourian and a paper in the Virgin Islands. Also, Major League Baseball for the first time is selling a calendar with the full team name, he said.
It seems to me that Todd Theodora did not make a very compelling counter argument. I'm disappointed that on one's brought up LAnaheim yet.

Wait, they're still called "Anaheim" in Ottawa? Throw out the lawsuit!
