Anaheim Angels Merchandise
The Anaheim Angels were an expansion franchise, the club was founded in Los Angeles in 1961. Then the Los Angeles Angels, the team was based at Los Angeles’s Wrigley Field. The team has gone through several name changes in their history, first changing to the California Angels in 1965 to emphasize their status as the only AL team in California. When the Disney Company took control in 1997, they extensively renovated Angel Stadium with two requirements: that both the stadium’s name and the team’s name have “Anaheim” in it. Disney was hoping to make Anaheim, the home of Disneyland Park, a major tourist destination and thus the team became the Anaheim Angels.
