SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - The Los Angeles Angels are tossing customers and fans a curve by implying they play home games in the City of Angels, a state Assembly committee decided Tuesday.
The Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism and Internet Media Committee voted 9-0 to approve a bill that would require the Angels to disclose on tickets, ads and other promotional material that they are based in Anaheim, about 25 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
Assemblyman Tom Umberg, a Santa Ana Democrat whose district includes Angel Stadium, said his bill was an attempt to promote truth in sports advertising. He likened the Angels' name change to a company selling orange juice that contains no oranges.
