ANGELS NOTEBOOK : ANGELS WILL BE `CALIFORNIA' NO MORE.The American League American League (AL) One of the two associations of professional baseball teams in the U.S. and Canada designated as major leagues; the other is the National League (NL). won't have the California Angels to kick around for much longer. That's because they'll be called the Anaheim Angels and be sporting new uniforms and logos beginning next season, team president Tony Tavares announced Friday. ``There was a lot of stuff about the (Anaheim) Mighty Ducks

The team colors will include the current red, white and blue, but have a variety of shades. They will have home, road and third jerseys with at least three caps, Tavares said. Two of the jerseys will say ``Angels'' on them while the third will have only a logo. ``It won't look anything like the uniforms are today and the logo won't look anything like it is today,'' Tavares said. ``It's a logo unto itself. It has nothing to do with the Ducks' logo. It has to do with the Angels. ``I think they struck a balance. It's something that gives you tradition and still be kind of cutting edge.''

More clay was added to firm up the dirt where each position player typically stands and surrounding first base.

The mixture is designed not to clump after being watered down, but the representatives of the Phoenix-based dirt company discovered that it dries differently in Orange County than in arid Arizona. The result is a loose infield that makes footing and the bounces of ground balls tricky, often drawing the ire of infielders. Shortstop Gary DiSarcina and first baseman J.T. Snow were also consulted during batting practice. |
