Why are some of the L.A. Angels baseball teams helmets burnt?

They're not burnt, that's tar on their helmets.

They change balls really often.  It's because they're worried about the ball being scuffed or damaged during the game.  The ump wants to ensure that the game isn't swayed in favor of either team.

For sports like football and basketball, it's critical that the two teams look different. Imagine the chaos if every football player wore a white jersey-- the quarterback would never know who to pass to, the linemen wouldn't know who to block, etc. That's why each team has to have at least two different jersey colors.\n\nIt's not that important for baseball, since it's pretty obvious who is on offense and who is on defense. It's just been baseball tradition that the road team wears some kind of gray uniform. That dates back to days when laundry facilities on the road were a little suspect, so teams wore gray unis to hide the dirt a little better.

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/standings?type=regular&year=season_2005\nyou use this url and you see the angels as division winners with bengie Molina as their catcher.  One season later minus Bengie Molina in 2006 with him up in toronto.  You notice a much improved toronto team and a worsened Los Angeles team.\nhttp://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/standings?type=regular&year=season_2006\nBasically what was The Angels loss turned out to be the Blue Jays gain.

Turner is right. Lets go Rangers is not.\n\nThe hats are donated to charities, if they are in good condition. They do NOT keep them on display. Imagine how many nasty used hats a professional team would have to display! And why would multi-million dollar orginizations sell used hats, for the $1 a peice they would get??? And who would buy them???\n\nA little known fact is that if there is a hat-trick, you can get a new free hat from the souvenir shop after claiming that you threw yours out on the ice.

the one I keep hearing about is the Chicago Cubs curse.  its about how a billy goat wasn't allowed in the stadium back in the 1900's and since then the cubs haven't been in the world series

Because he was found to have vision problems, which led to his high walk total and control problems. After he started wearing them, he pitched great, so obviously they helped. Yeah, they are ugly, but I'm sure he'll take that for better results on the mound;)

The more equipment you put on a player, the less a player can move. The problem is no one thought that some of these players would end up being dump truck size monsters who could hit a stop sign and bend it forward. The players are just way to big to invent something to protect them better. The legs are quite fragile in that there isn't much protecting them. As for concussions, human heads were not meant to get that kind of contact. THe helmets have been improved to the point that hitters are now using there heads to hurt the opponent. So nothing will prevent these injuries unless you have 150 lb players playing the game.

I don't think it was intentional, but I'm not sure. The loop of the "R" tends to have the floppy ear appearance. This could be caused by signing on the round ball as opposed to a flat book or paper. If you do a google image search for Babe Ruth autograph/signature you'll see what I mean.

I'm also an Angels fan.  I think we're getting better.  We really need colon and  erstad back.  We've had too many injuries, and our rookies weren't as good as they were supposed to be.  Morales, Napoli, and Jered Weaver are a nice surprise.  I don't know why we still pitch Jeff Weaver.  It seems like we always lose by a lot when he plays.  I think some of our youngsters in AAA might be better.

The jerseys are made of a lighter weight material since they are playing in the warmer climates of Arizona and in Florida.  It's probably also a marketing thing, where there's another team jersey that you can buy.

Maybe because they are one of the top teams in the country.  Behind the Yankees, they are also the highest paid so they should be getting their moneys worth out of them. They also have been kicking butt in the pennant race the last few years.

As a Boston Red Sox fan I know all to well about being superstitious/quirky, it even carries over to hockey. On days that the stars play I always wear my very thin framed eye glasses over my regular pair, and when I go to a stars game in person I wear the green stars jersey opposed to the white jersey from the early 90s when they first arrived in Dallas. In fact when I go to games I keep track of the W-L-OTL record of who I go with (if its a bad record they won't be going to playoff games) And finally at games I wear my Boston Red Sox cap with the two sox on the back of the cap and when the stars need a big goal I rub the two sox for luck (I do the same thing in baseball when Boston needs a big run).  I don't have a playoff plan yet as they are still a few months away and I have learned the best plans are the spontaneous ones.

It's known as Smog (a word combination of "smoke" and "fog").\n\nHowever, a true Los Angelino will not breathe anything he cannot see...
