Growing up in Anaheim and the Orange County area in the 80's and 90's as a California Angels fan was one of the greatest eras in baseball. The excitement, the vibrant energy of the games, and the distinctive jerseys and hats made those years unforgettable. Back then, we didn't face the confusion of a city name crisis. The team wasn’t just about representing a particular city but symbolized the spirit and passion of the entire state of California.

It's time to bring the California Angels back, Arte! The name isn't just a label; it's an identity – one that resonates with fans who have cherished those golden days of baseball, including myself. The Angels stand as a beacon of California’s baseball legacy, and they deserve a name that proudly showcases that heritage.

The current Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim name does not bring justice to what the team truly represents. Anaheim, nestled in the heart of Orange County, has been an integral part of the team's history. However, the Angels embody more than just Anaheim or Los Angeles; they are a symbol for all of California.

Reinstating the name California Angels would not only honor the past and acknowledge the team's broad fan base across the state, but it would also rejuvenate the unifying spirit that brought many of us to the game of baseball in the first place.

Join us in urging the owners to bring back this time-honored name. Together, let's tell them how important this change is. Sign this petition to make the California Angels a reality once again!
