ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Angel Stadium deal is dead.
The Anaheim City Council voted unanimously late Tuesday night to kill the sale of Angel Stadium and the surrounding property, in the process bracing for what city councilmen said could be a long and nasty legal battle with Angels owner Arte Moreno.
On the day after mayor Harry Sidhu resigned amid an FBI investigation into the so-called "cabal" that runs the city, Councilman Jose Moreno said the probe had raised the curtain on what he called "a pandemic of corruption" in Anaheim and called the stadium deal "the fruit of a poisoned tree."
