A professional team called "The Angels" has been playing in Los Angeles (note that these words translate to "The Angels") since 1892. In 1903 they became part of the Pacific Coast League, whose quality of play would eventually rise to just below major league level, and definitely above AAA. In 1961, an American League team was formed in LA, also called The Angels. This team later took the names "California Angels" and then "Anaheim Angels," and is now the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim."
