Or tuna fish. We know it's a fish, so why can't we just have a tuna sandwich? There's no turkey bird sandwich.

In the rest of the English speaking world, we just say tuna sandwich, so there's some knowledge for ya.

[–]deadbonesinside 19 points20 points ago

Turkey bird sandwich makes me giggle. What about others? Perhaps a pulled pork pig sandwich?

[–]A_Polite_Noise 3 points4 points ago

I like it too...turkey bird sandwich. hehe. I think if we are going to keep it as a broad class of animal, like "fish" and "bird", we'd have to do something like pork mammal roll, or beef mammal stroganoff.

[–]couldnt_careless 2 points3 points ago

isn't ahi kind of 'slang' for yellowfin tuna? in which case there are many species of fish with the name yellowfin

Really? My Grandmother ordered shrimp scampi at a restaurant once. When it arrived, she said "Well I got my shrimp, but where's my scampi?"

Scampi doesn't mean shrimp, it actually refers to a specific crustacean.

[–]burf 7 points8 points ago

Same idea as chai tea.

[–]TheBlackestManAlive 6 points7 points ago

A Scampi is actually a Langostino Lobster

[–]InflatableTomato 6 points7 points ago

Uh no, not really. Scampi is of Italian derivation, and the Italian for shrimp is gambero, not scampi.

[–]HalosFan 3 points4 points ago

[–]TheCannon 222 points223 points ago

Worse: Their full name is The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Anaheim is pretty far from LA (35-45 minutes) and not even part of LA County. Why they didn't just stay the California Angels, or just change to the Anaheim Angels is beyond me.

[–]FSUfan35 310 points311 points ago

They were the Anaheim Angels from 1997 to 2005

[–]celtic1888 124 points125 points ago

They were the California Angels 1961-1997

Then Disney bought them

[–]schplat 55 points56 points ago

They were the Los Angeles Angels from 1961-1965. Then the California Angels after that.

They played at a Wrigley field in Los Angeles in 1961, then Chavez Ravine from 62-65.

[–]MothershipConnection 20 points21 points ago

At least they actually played in Los Angeles back then.

[–]TheCannon 40 points41 points ago

Then why change it? Silly.

[–]Coo1_Story_Breh 171 points172 points ago

The owner changed it because he thought the LA brand would boost popularity. The city of Anaheim fought the change and lost I believe.

[–]chupanibre25 83 points84 points ago

Yep, he was trying to tap into the LA market. All the fans I knew hated the change.

[–]snackburros 27 points28 points ago

It's okay, we just call it "The Angels" and it's fine.

[–]thatwasntveryraven 49 points50 points ago

And yet, people now know them as the LA Angels, they didn't breach the contract which requires them to keep "Anaheim" in the name and they are gaining fans in the LA market. I'd say it was a damn successful move.

[–]jook11 20 points21 points ago

Los Angeles already has a MLB team, they didn't want another. I live in biking distance to Angels Stadium, and everyone felt betrayed by the change.

[–]geckomarcus 5 points6 points ago

Fist bump for a fellow person living in the shadow of the Big A.

[–]mrpepelopez 2 points3 points ago

The Angels have always been the Los Angeles market team for the American League. They were created that way and share equal territorial rights with the Dodgers. The distinctions between LA proper and Orange County is meaningful to residents but from a marketing perspective you're talking about the same TV and radio stations and essentially the same potential fan base.

[–]footprintx 49 points50 points ago

I've never heard of these LA Angels you speak of. I've only heard of Anaheim Angels.

[–]why_not_this_name 5 points6 points ago

I'm on the east coast and don't follow baseball. Could have sworn they were the Anaheim Angels.

[–]cardboardroom 7 points8 points ago

Yet no self-respecting Angels fans refer to them as such.

[–]thatwasntveryraven 6 points7 points ago

But the scoreboards across the nation say LAA instead of ANA now. And announcers call them the LA Angels.

[–]chupanibre25 8 points9 points ago

Scoreboards and announcers aren't fans.

[–]SilverJuice 12 points13 points ago

Kind of bullshit, considering that LA already has a team, a little known franchise called "The Dodgers".

I figured that the MLB itself wouldn't have supported the name change for this very reason.

Also, while I'm in this thread, Mike Trout is a beast.

[–]JayNic 8 points9 points ago

Mike Trout can swim up my stream any time. ;)

[–]RichRedundantRich 2 points3 points ago

Also, Brooklyn has a team called the Dodgers. LA is just borrowing it.

[–]BBS- 5 points6 points ago

Anaheim had some sort of agreement with the Angels, so they needed to be a part of their official name.

[–]homeworld 45 points46 points ago

Neither the NY Giants or NY Jets play in NY.

[–]TryingToSucceed 9 points10 points ago

Yeah, but the Redskins play in Landover, MD. And from 1975-2001, the Detroit Lions played in Pontiac, Michigan, which was a good 30 miles away from Detroit. East Rutherford, NJ is only about 10 miles away from Manhattan.

[–]woo_hah 20 points21 points ago

Yeah, because there's no place to build a football stadium in the city. That's why God created the vast wastelands of the New Jersey swamps.

[–]Shiftkgb 6 points7 points ago

How about the vast wastelands of the state of New York? Cause, it's full of them.

[–]homeworld 2 points3 points ago

Yankee Stadium and Citi Field are in NYC. And the Jets wanted to build a stadium on the west side of Manhattan.

[–]TheAmbiguityBuster 16 points17 points ago

They used to be the California Angels, then they were the Anaheim Angels (when I used to go to games), then they changed to the LA Angels.

Why? Money.

[–]Givants 6 points7 points ago

35-45 mins?? Not if you take the 5 freeway

[–]brosephjyant 2 points3 points ago

Oh, in that case it's 60-90 minutes.

[–]cardboardroom 2 points3 points ago

Often, the freeway sign on the 5 in Anaheim near the Gene Autry Way/Angel Stadium exit will read "Minutes to Downtown LA: 120." If it takes two hours to get to the city you claim to play in, you should probably stop trying to convince people you play there.

[–]deannapolis 2 points3 points ago

I live in Anaheim and I am embarrassed of their stupid team name. What the hell. I'm not an Angels fan, but still. Pick a better name.

[–]tempe85 5 points6 points ago

How is that bad? The Giants and Jets are about a 20 minute drive from New York and don't even play in the same state as their team's name. The Cowboys play in Arlington Texas, a full 30-35 minutes away from Dallas. The Dolphins play about 20 minutes away from Miami. These are just the teams off the top of my head.

There's probably 30+ pro teams in the US that don't play in their city's namesake.

[–]BlueVengeance 22 points23 points ago

Nobody around LA or Orange County calls them LA Angels these days. At least the last 15 or so years I can remember. Everybody refers to them as the Anaheim Angels. LA is for the Dodgers. Dodgers fans wear that "LA" symbol everywhere.

[–]coledog22 19 points20 points ago

I thought of that immediately when they changed their name. They are the only team that has changed their names like 3 times and not moved stadiums. Sorry to say, that entire team is based off of publicity.

[–]tempe85 13 points14 points ago

They are the only team that has changed their names like 3 times and not moved stadiums.

Lol, this isn't even close to true. Let's take the Dodgers for example.

They went from the Brooklyn Atlantics, to the Brooklyn Grays, to the Brooklyn Bridegrooms, back to the Grays, back to the Bridegrooms, to the Superbas, to the Dodgers, back to the Superbas, to the Robins, and then finally back to the Dodgers. This was in about a 40 year span. So without even moving they changed their name 10 times.

[–]ThisRedditorIsDrunk 2 points3 points ago

The nickname "Dodgers" even comes from Brooklyn's trolleys. There are no trolleys in Los Angeles. It's the same as how there are no lakes in LA but the Lakers are Lakers because they're from Minnesota.

The Angels are the only major league team in California that began in California, other than the Padres.

[–]RightToBaerArms 3 points4 points ago

Padres.

[–]snackburros 18 points19 points ago

We've been a genuinely good team for most of the years since 2002. Hell, 3 out of 4 of our All-Stars are SoCal natives this year (Trumbo, Weaver, Wilson) and three of them are home-grown (Weaver, Trumbo, Trout).

[–]dome210 16 points17 points ago

Fuck you. The End.

Uh, they started as the Los Angeles Angels. They were named so after the Pacific Coast League team from Los Angeles named the Angels.

That's why they're named the Angels. Because they originated in Los Angeles. The same way the Twins are named so because they're from the Twin Cities.

In closing, get your shit straight,

Sincerely,

An actual Angels fan

California Angels is the historical name, so maybe it's nostalgic to you, but California has 5 teams. Anaheim is many more correcter.

The team itself ruined it for me
