ANAHEIM (AP) -- The city of Anaheim is dropping its legal challenges to the name of the Angels. Mayor Curt Pringle says the City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to give up its battle to restore the team's name to the Anaheim Angels. The city had argued that team owner Arte Moreno violated the city-owned stadium lease agreement when he changed the name to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in 2005. A California appeals court ruled against the city last month, and an Orange County Superior court jury sided with the team in 2006. Pringle says city leaders believe the wrong court decision was made twice, but says "it's in everybody's best interest to take no further action."
