A.L. West team, on scoreboards

Answer:

LAA

Hint:

This team plays in Anaheim and shares its three-letter abbreviation with a city in California.

Explanation:

This clue refers to the Los Angeles Angels, a Major League Baseball team in the American League West division. On scoreboards, teams are often abbreviated to three letters, and "LAA" is the standard shorthand for the Angels (distinguishing them from the Dodgers, who use "LAD"). The clue hints at this by naming the division ("A.L. West") and asking for the scoreboard version.
