Chamillitary Click:
the Dodgers were my team, along with the Giants. ;)
the whole state of California is just a younger sister to New York. :laugh:

I grew up with the Angels as my American League team....goin to games when they were the "California Angels" and the Dodgers as my national league team. but over the years I've grown to love the Dodgers more....they are my team. I just think it's silly to call themselves LA when they aren't in LA...I mean if u have to add "of anaheim" at the end of it then it's pretty ridiculous.

legally, they have to add Anaheim because the contract Disney signed when they owed the team. But new owner Arturo Moreno basically said, fuck it, I'm taking over LA, and put up signs every where calling LA the City of Angels.

Dude is the only Latino to own a major sports team, his a billionaire on his own accord, after being a Vietnam Vet, going to college getting his marketing degree, starting his own marketing company then selling it for billions. Dude is a great business man and now has his dream of owning a baseball team. I give him much respect and I'm glad he bought the team that I've been rooting for since I was 9 and the Angels drafted Jim Abbott.
