That other team

These last weeks have made clear that a team’s identity isn’t about the city name emblazoned on its uniforms. It’s about its play on the field. As the postseason nears, Los Angeles again has but one “team” -- the one that is making October baseball a near-annual event in Anaheim by playing consistent, solid, spirited baseball. In this town, winners wear red; whiners wear blue.
