Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim It Is

A judge has set a November court date for Anaheim's trial to get Angels management to drop its "Los Angeles" silliness, so it appears the team will be playing this year as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Two possible solutions:

A friend suggested we defer to the owner's native tongue and simply call the team "Los Angeles," or "The Angels." Elegant.

Or my idea. If Moreno wants to change the name to attract more advertising bucks, why settle for just the second biggest advertising market? Why not name the team the New York Angels of Anaheim?
