Vying for the allegiance of area’s baseball fans

Re “This is L.A. baseball?” editorial, Oct. 5

Winning over everything. That seems to be the gist of your editorial. The Angels are not even close to the city of Los Angeles. They are in Anaheim, which is not even in Los Angeles County. At best, this is part of Southern California, not Los Angeles.

It is a complete fiction that they could be considered a hometown team for L.A. What will you say in a few years when the fickleness of Major League Baseball will inevitably accord the Dodgers a winning season and the Angels become losers?

Like it or not, the Dodgers are L.A. baseball and the Angels belong to Anaheim (Orange County) or perhaps the more generic Southern California.

For those of us with longer memories, being an Angels fan was not always a badge of shame, nor were the Angels a perennial second choice. The Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League were a powerful franchise with a storied past. Also, let us not forget this city is the City of the Angels.
