UPDATE On January 4, 2005, team owner Arte Moreno announced that the team would change its name to "The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim." Moreno believes that the name change will allow the team to tap into a larger marketing area in the greater Los Angeles community. Commissioner Bug Selig has approved the name change, but there are pending lawsuits by the city to enjoin the team, requiring the name to remain "The Anaheim Angels." The city sued arguing that the lease precludes the change, while the team argues that by leaving "Anaheim" in the name, the change satisfies the terms of the lease. NAMING RIGHTS In early 2004 Edison International exercised their option to terminate their 20-year, $50 million naming rights agreement with the Anaheim Angels.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

Baseball in Canada SAMUEL R. HILL* INTRODUCTION Baseball scholars and historians have long accepted that Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball in Cooperstown, New York in 1839.' Doubleday's baseball legend survives, however, as part of baseball folklore; Americans would likely deride the suggestion that a foreign country created baseball. Yet, Canadians recorded a "baseball" game played in 1838 in Beachville, Ontario.' Does the Canadian record debunk the Doubleday baseball legend? The answer, in all likelihood, is no. The modem-day game of baseball most resembles the form of baseball developed in New York in the early nineteenth century.' Canadian baseball, however, developed on a parallel and often intertwined path with that of its American counterpart, and played an instrumental role in shaping baseball as we know it today.

In addition, the Stadium District issued $15 million in bonds that are being paid off with stadium- generated revenue. The remainder was paid through private financing, including a naming-rights deal worth $66 million over thirty years and the Diamondbacks’ investment of $85 million. In 2007, the Maricopa County Stadium District paid off the remaining balance of $15 million on its portion of Chase Field. The payment erased the final debt for the stadium nineteen years earlier than expected. Facility Website Twitter: @MariCo_StadDist UPDATE: In January 2017, the Diamondbacks filed suit against the Maricopa County Stadium District claiming the District had failed to make the necessary capital repairs and improvements to the ballpark. An assessment done by the District concluded that $185 million will be needed for repairs and improvements. The D-backs contend that $135 million of that figure are capital repairs © Copyright 2017, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 that the District is responsible for. The team has said in the past that it would take on those costs in exchange for a reduction of license fee payments and the ability to book the stadium for non- baseball use.
