Cap it

miss the Nationals already.

For their play, yes; should’ve swept em.

But mostly for their caps. That script W is the coolest logo in baseball.

Brings back memories of the pastime in Washington. Ted Williams takes over in 1969. Nixon tosses the first ball. Bench, McCovey, Howard, Freehan homer in the All-Star Game at RFK. It's baseball's centennial, and the OC's finest greets the greatest living players at the White House by breaking down the game like no prez in history.

After the Nat hat, here's the sharp logo lineup:

2. Mets

3. Giants

4. Tigers

5. Yankees

6. White Sox

7. Angels

8. Phillies

9. Cardinals

The Angels' A logo is by far the best out there...

this is a power poll list you’ve assembled and once again, the Angels are too far down it!

All through this series I kept thinking what a direct rip-off the "W" nationals hat logo

is from the famous Wrangler jeans logo. Maybe that familiarity is why everyone is attracted to it.

Ironic that baseball players need to make a trip to the White House to be anywhere close to our nation’s leader as he certainly would not show up at the stadium the last two years in a row, to throw out the traditional opening day first pitch, for fear of being heavily booed. Sighting scheduling conflicts two years in a row is hardly an excuse.

I can't decide which thing you wrote sucks more

Calling Nixon “the oc’s finest” or referring to Orange County as “the oc”. Both made me throw up in my mouth a little.

keep hurling

article or no, Nixon is:

1. the only California-born prez.

2. a giant who opened China, ended the draft, ended our combat in Nam, started the EPA, airlifted Israel from disaster, lowered the voting age. desegregated the South, oversaw every moon landing.

Go Angels. Go Mizzou.

I was going to call him

A narcissistic paranoid pig who would stop at nothing to promote his own political goals, including but not limited to breaking and entering, spying, lying and cheating (and those are just the crimes he committed against his own people) but I thought that would be breaking the no politics rule here at HH.

Ok. I’m done now.

Yeah. Nothing reflects our political heritage better

I prefer to get women to don game-related apparel

in any way possible.

If that means making itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, boston “B”-clad dot bikinis for them to wear, so be it.

I personally like the DC logo better:

Not too bad, eh?

My personal lineup of classy letter logos go as follows:
1) Yanks
2) LA (the logo is sweet… anything else is trash)
3) Angels
4) Detroit
5) Braves

The LA logo...

was stolen from the Los Angeles Angels … courtesy of O’Malley’s buyout and subsequent shipping out of the franchise to Spokane, WA.

Yessir, I recall:

I'd like to wager that less than 5% of Dodger Fans...

even know that fact.

DAMN!

The Seraphs won the pennant again in 1933. In 1934, they fielded what is regarded as the greatest team in the history of the minor leagues. The 1934 Angels finished at 137-50 (.733) — 35½ games ahead of the Mission Reds on an annualized basis (the PCL used a split season format that year). They were so good that their opponent in the postseason series (which the Angels won) was an all-star team composed of players from the other seven PCL teams.

Us oldsters know.

The Dodgers bought the LA Angels PCL team and turned it into one of their minor league far teams. As such, they purchased the rights to the logo and the name. They kept the logo for themselves. They sold the name to OUR franchise later on, and we eventually contracted with the local rivals to the LA Angels (the Stars, nee the Bees) as our minor league team.

The old LA Angels franchise is not our lineage. It is the lineage of the Dodgers.
