Oh for Two
The City of Anaheim lost again:
A judge rejected a request Thursday by the city of Anaheim to force the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to change their name back to the Anaheim Angels.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Peter J. Polos ruled that he had no authority to reverse the ruling of a jury that three weeks ago decided in the team's favor.
Good for judge Polos. A jury trial should not be easily overturned at the whim of a judge. I guess the city can try an actual appeal now, but they need to remember that three strikes and they're out.
