LA Angels or Anaheim Angels???

Court was not in session on Friday as both sides in the naming dispute between the Angels and the City of Anaheim participated in closed-door mediation.

At issue is the name "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" and whether it violates an agreement between the team and the city in which the team plays. Anaheim would prefer the club return to the name "Anaheim Angels," and uses that title in all references.

"We're making two arguments," said Anaheim co-counsel Andy Guilford. "One, the name 'Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim' violates the clause. And second, the name does not adhere to customs and usage in Major League Baseball."

"No one in Anaheim ever intended to have the name 'Los Angeles' in the name," said Guilford.

Friday's mediation session was the sixth between the two sides in the last year. Following the conclusion of the city's case, the Angels will call their own witnesses. A Feb. 10 date is the target to conclude the trial.
