I hate it, but I think the rough translation is "The the Angels Angels of city of Angels." Being from Orange County, I miss the old Anaheim Angels moniker.

Actually, the rough translation is The Angels Angels (and not The Angel's Angels because that would be Los Ángeles del Ángel). There is no mention of the City in their name. I miss the California Angels...both the players and the team name. I was four years old when the team changed from the Los Angeles Angels to the California Angels and five when they moved to Anaheim. They didn't change to the Anaheim Angels until 1997 (when my kids were 7 years old). So, it's the California Angels in my mind and heart - both the players and the team name.
The worst stretch was when Disney bought them...that was an awful period...

LOL. Anaheim is literally City of Saint Anne, Grandmother of Jesus and patron saint to mothers, blah, blah, blah. I had an old mexican woman tell me it meant city of angels. She probably pulled it out of her patootie, but I like the thought. That's why I said rough.
Graduated from ETHS in 1994 with that LA suburb inferiority complex. Anaheim Angels felt more home town to me than either CA or LA.
Hey, I haven't seen Bobloblaw post anything in forever.

I went to Vegas in May and went to two Aviator games. It was an AMAZING experience! The ball park is nice and easy to get in and out of!

I liked when they were the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, that was 2005-2015 and so wordy. Anaheim Angels is the most logical but as a kid they were California Angels so that feels natural but I call them Anaheim when I talk about them to my friends or the Angels.

I didn't know they changed it, again. Nice to be told by a Dodger fan.
Wish they'd stop changing it (after they add Anaheim back)
