The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim play baseball in the West Division of Major League Baseball's American League. The franchise was founded in 1961 as the Los Angeles Angels. The team would emphasize that it was the only American League team in California by changing the name to the California Angels from 1965 to 1996. The Disney take over of the team and the fact that the team's stadium is located in Anaheim brought about the 1997 change to the Anaheim Angels, and the team has just recently added Los Angeles back to the name. The team has one World Series title from 2002 and has won their division 3 out of the last 4 years. Some of the baseball greats to play for the Angels include Nolan Ryan, Reggie Jackson, Eddie Murray, and Rod Carew.
