Los Angeles Angels Set New World Record During Tuesday Night's Game [PHOTO]

This season is not going like how the Los Angeles Angels had hoped. No one would have imagined the team trading Josh Hamilton back to the Texas Rangers or swallowing most of his contract in the process. Being 6.5 games behind the Houston Astros--yes, the Astros--for first in the division was not in the cards either.

So--what's a team to do in order to generate a little excitement when things aren't going well? Set a new Guinness World Record.

It seems that there are all sorts of official world records for things most folks would never even consider trying--like the one the Angels set Tuesday night. As part of a Cinco de Mayo promotion they gave away over 20,000 Angels sombreros so they could set the world record for the largest gathering of people wearing sombreros.

Congratulations?
