The 1965 Angels are the only team in recent Major League Baseball history to undergo an in-season name change. The club began the season under its original name, the Los Angeles Angels, but with the imminent move to Anaheim, owner Gene Autry changed the name of the team to the California Angels — effective immediately — on September 2, 1965.
