Name Change

Does anyone know if the Angels are changing back to the Los Angeles Angels for the 2014 season or are they remaining the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.2.246.30 (talk) 14:45, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As of right now (March 27, 2014), the team is still officially named Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, even though they are free to drop the of Anaheim at any time. I assume that the name will be officially changed in time for the 2015 season, but that is just speculation on my part. --CASportsFan (talk) 03:07, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like they've changed it officially, if quietly: their official Facebook[1], Instagram[2] and Twitter[3] pages all say "Los Angeles Angels". SixFourThree (talk) 19:49, 4 August 2016 (UTC)SixFourThree[reply]

On MLB.com, it says "THE OFFICIAL SITE OF THE LOS ANGELES ANGELS OF ANAHEIM". – Muboshgu (talk) 19:57, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

True, but that's the same site that used "Florida Marlins" for three years after they officially changed. Maintenance doesn't seem to be high on their list of priorities. SixFourThree (talk) 21:00, 4 August 2016 (UTC)SixFourThree[reply]

And FWIW, the MLB team list calls them "Los Angeles Angels".[4] Odd. SixFourThree (talk) 21:04, 4 August 2016 (UTC)SixFourThree[reply]

Gene Autry...Medal of Honor winner??

Hi. I noticed that the opening paragraph here states:

"The "Angels" name was continued by former film star and Medal of Honor hero Gene Autry..."

I was surprised by this, since I had never heard this claim before. Upon checking the corresponding article here on Gene Autry, I found nothing about him winning a Medal of Honor. If this is indeed so, therefore, could you please remove this unsourced and incorrect reference, since it might be perceived as an attempt to put an undue honor on a man who, though patriotic and a veteran, was not awarded the US's highest military honor.
