Scottie,
It's much more complicated than that. Maybe Crockett can shed some light on the legalities behind this, but if you live north of Orange County, you are not allowed to be an Angels fan. It's forbidden. I think the line is the drawn at the 10 freeway, but I'm not sure.
Plus, it's the American League. Not real baseball.

Precisely. Of course it has nothing to do with baseball, rather the rivalry between Los Angelinos and Orange Countians. It's all about whether your hat has the LA on it or the A (which I think stands for asshole)

Amen to that last part.
In the interest of full disclosure, I am married to a native Orange Countian. But I have him properly outfitted in orange and black, with not just one, but two Giants baseball caps (low hats, not high hats). Plus my two girls have appropriate gear year-round.
Let's go Gi-ants.

Allen Park police find man's body, guillotine in wooded area
Associated Press 12:21 PM CDT, September 12, 2007
ALLEN PARK, Mich. - The body of a 41-year-old man was found in a wooded area next to a guillotine he built and used to kill himself, police said.
The man, from the Detroit suburb of Melvindale, was discovered Monday by workers from a shopping center near his home.
Allen Park Deputy Police Chief Dale Covert said the roughly six-foot tall guillotine was bolted to a tree and included a swing arm. Covert said police also found several store receipts detailing the materials used to assemble the device.
"I can't even tell you how long it must have taken him to construct," he said. "This man obviously was very determined to end his life."
