    Do you mean currently? Wouldn't it be a century of futility from one of the two franchises?

    Anaheim is such a "baseball town", Angels TV ratings have generally been at or near THE BOTTOM.

    Even with a perennial winner that HAS won a World Series who's the ONLY game in the town, they had to add a whole OTHER city into the team name to mooch off them for extra support.

    I guess thats the bad part of speaking to everyone casually and keeping it "real" always. People with a microphone or recording device want to APPEAR to be a trusty ally, but even the friendliest are gonna put what you say out there publicly open for critique. Its all on Hamilton not biting his tongue. Not everyone has Charles Barkley brutally honest charisma with media.

    Doesnt Los Angeles have 2 franchises in it...?

    *snicker*

    {That is NOT the fan's fault for the LA name gimmick, and its probably contributed to ratings going even lower. But still, at least the Rangers didnt go "Dallas Rangers of Arlington" to look even more suspiciously un-genuine a hub of baseball}
