Pringle Punched

The mayor of Anaheim testified today to wrap up the city's case against the Angels:

The mayor of the city of Anaheim said when he returned from a long New Year's Day weekend last year he was shocked to learn that Angels owner Arte Moreno had changed the team's name.

Mayor Curt Pringle said he had a friendly discussion with Moreno five days before, at which both men agreed they would continue to discuss a possible name change. Nothing was finalized at that meeting, Pringle testified Wednesday.

"It was a punch in the stomach," he said.

I don't know which side is going to win this case, but Arte Morneo lost stature with the people of Anaheim during this trial.
