"I was miserable the whole time they were not in LA. Sorry, but they were my home town team for 39 years before she who will remain nameless moved them.
She didn't move them because the team could not make it in LA or OC she moved them because she was not accepted into high society in the OC. She was pissed and wanted to spite everyone."
Well, there are opinions that differ from the above. Such as the move to St. Louis was to garner more dough for a sick lady's estate held in trust for her children and grand children. That it did quite successfully. The business about Orange County society is -IMO-merely a mean spirited attack on someone who took "our team" away.
As far as the team leaving, in some ways I was not miserable and more relieved. They had stunk for so long I was almost happy to have another town share in my misery-which was the misery of losing.
