The 'Long Beach Armada of Los Angeles of California of the United States of North America Including Barrow, Alaska' (formerly named and commonly known as the 'Long Beach Armada') are an independent Golden Baseball League team based in Long Beach, California.
The current roster includes three left handed pitchers who reached the major leagues: Adam Pettyjohn, Alan Newman, and Bud Smith. In July 2006, former major league star José Canseco was traded to the team and plays as a designated hitter and pitcher.
On May 28, 2007, Golden Baseball League CEO, Dave Kaval, announced that the Armada's official name had been changed to Long Beach Armada of Los Angeles of California of the United States of North America Including Barrow, Alaska. Kaval explained the change saying, "In order to better reach the larger Armada Nation, we felt compelled to lengthen the name to incorporate all our fans stretching from the warm beaches of Los Angeles to the frigid beaches of the arctic circle. Our inspiration was Arte Moreno's brilliant marketing gambit of positioning the Anaheim Angels as an LA team. Being a real Los Angeles county team, we too wanted to extend our reach as far north as possible."^[1]
Despite the team's name change, they are still referred to in the media and at their home games as the 'Long Beach Armada'.
