I think the Angels Angels is a cool name. Los Angeles means of the Angels, literally paying homage to Angelic biblical Angels which are Godly things that are 25 feet tall and sound like thunder when they talk and their feet are like burnished bronze. They arent women with wings like the cartoons. The biblical version of an Angel is a scary thing indeed.
Of the Angels Dodgers is a worse name by far. A dodger refers to a Trolley Dodger, which refers to trolleys, a form of public transportation that replaced horses in New York. Evidently when trolleys were first introduced in Brooklyn, people were so unused to these things being in the streets cause they were huge machines, not horses. A horse won't run into you if it can help it cause it has eyes and a brain, so it will walk around you. A trolley has no eyes and thus will run you over. A lot of deaths ensued from dumb New Yorkers in this manner. So it was common practice to step out onto the street and then remember these new trolley things dont move, and then have to "dodge" the trolley to avoid getting run over by it. I don't care what year it was, that proves how stupid New yorkers are. Theres your history of the Dodgers, a very local New York reference that makes no sense in sprawling LA whatsoever.
Aint no trollies in LA at all. Very few lakes for that matter also.
