Everything you just said is true. When I was born and when they won the World Series, they were called the "Anaheim Angels", so that's why I refer to them as such. However, they changed their name to the Los Angeles Angels because they could sign more TV deals and make more money if they had "Los Angeles" in their name. This article explains everything:

The Angels were supposed to be the team for people who DIDN'T want to be associated with L.A., even though they lived relatively close to L.A.
People like me.
So that's why A lot of people got upset by the name change, but ultimately it did help the Angels to sign better players and stuff because they had more money.
