Why can't people hit against Johan Santana?
The Dodgers moved to California from Brooklyn, and the Angels technically are based in Anaheim. It's a large enough population to support both teams even though they're relatively close together.they dont.. the angels just have the name los angeles even tho they dont even play in teh same county! the dodgers do play in LA.. i hate arte moreno.. the los angeles angels of anaheim is the stupidest thing ever. everyone makes fun of it. teh dodgers might as well should be theh brooklyn dodgers of los angeles
Baseball is there way to hear knbr (SF giants ) on the web other then MLB.com?
Technically the Angels play in Anaheim which is out in Orange County, but they put on the Los Angeles part just for kicks I guess.Let's stick with short stops, Jose Reyes or Derek Jeter?
The Angels are technically in Orange County. However, the reason we have two teams so close to LA is because Southern California is the best place to play baseball and the people in the area show up to the games. We have a huge population and we love baseball.Same reason Chicago has 2 baseball teams, and New York has 2 Baseball and Football teams. All have large enough markets to support 2 teams. New york was able to support 3 baseball teams until the 50's. (Giants, Dodgers, Yahkees)
If a run is scored on a balk is it an earned run or unearned?
Even though they are both not exactly in "Los Angeles', L A is big enough to support two teams, just like Chicago and New York.The owner of the Angels had a feud with the leaders of the city of Anaheim ( I think it had to do with financing a new stadium.) In spite of them, he changed the name of the team to Los Angeles and so he doesn't pay taxes or anything to the city of Anaheim.
Because the Angels want to be like the Dodgers.
It's a marketing thing!
Are the yankees good for baseball?
The Angels were created as an expansion team in 1961 because the American League wanted to expand to the West Coast. They were placed in L.A. because its population was large enough to support two teams (and had, for many years, supported two Pacific Coast League teams).Can anyone tell me who is broadcasting the yanks-sox series next weekend?
Well, why not? New York also has 2 baseball teams. I think all big-market cities should, except Philly. Philly is awful. So are Philly fans. Especially Eagles fans.Roger Clemens says he will only pitch in home games?what do you think about that?
First of all, the Los Angeles Angels of Anahiem are not from LA. Only Arte Moreno thinks that they are.The Angels were an expansion team that were originally owned in part by Gene Autrey, and they played their first season or two in Dodger Stadium. After that they moved to Anahiem and became the California Angels until they were bought by Disney and became the Anahiem Angels. When Arte Moreno bought the team, he renamed them the Los Angeles Angels of Anahiem to capitalize on the team's proximity to Los Angeles.
Sports fans in New York (Met fans especially), are you sick of the "Yankee Bias?"?
Because when one team sucks, you can root for the other team.When both teams suck... just go to the movies and watch sex and violence on screen. Such is the life.
Barry bonds trainer a good friend?
They don't, the Angels are still from Anaheim but our great owner thought it would be nice to change the name to LA. The reasons for it were: Because he says not many people know Anaheim, and that putting LA in front of it will bring in more money for him to spend on his club and to bring in tourists. I don't care what he calls it, as long as he puts a winning product that I can be proud of I will continue supporting my team.There was a fight between Moreno and the City of Anaheim which was brought to court, which the city of Anaheim lost. So now they are called the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim rather than the Anaheim Angels.
I just don't see how is it that it's not noticeable. Disneyland is in Anaheim, the Ducks are in Anaheim, and then you got the Angels. All I see is that Moreno is making money off this, and many Angel fans are still bent out of shape about it.
