From the Department of Redundancy Department.

The Angels are changing their name.

The Anaheim Angels will now be “The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim”.

Translated literally this becomes “The The Angels Angels of Anaheim”.

WTF?

Anaheim = Ana's Home in German

So much of our language is derived from other languages that it's no wonder why non-English speakers have such a tough time...

The Angels signed a contract with the city of Anaheim that said Anaheim must be in the teams name. The owner is looking to broaden his fambase by including Los Angeles in the name. I agree it is stupid.
