We are shocked and saddened by the passing of Garret Anderson, a 17-year MLB veteran and a standout member of the 2002 World Series champion Angels.
A Los Angeles native, Anderson debuted with the Angels in 1994 and spent 15 of his 17 Major League seasons with the team. He finished his career with the Braves and Dodgers, amassing 2,529 hits and a .293 career batting average.
Anderson was a 3-time All-Star. In 2003, Anderson won the Home Run Derby, and as the starting left fielder for the AL, he went 3-for-4 with a home run to capture game MVP honors.
A member of the Angels Hall of Fame, he holds several franchise records including games played (2,013), hits (2,368), doubles (489), extra-base hits (796), RBI (1,292), and total bases (3,743).
In Game 7 of the 2002 World Series, it was Anderson’s 3-run double that provided the winning margin in a 4-1 victory to clinch the first championship in Angels history.
He was 53 years old.
Larry Fitzgerald used to be a ballboy for the Vikings and got to watch Randy Moss from the sideline…
Now, Moss was the one who knocked on the door to tell him he was going into the Hall of Fame.
Pretty freaking cool.
Philip Rivers is back.
Patriots have 11 wins.
Cowboys are average.
Joe Flacco is slinging it.
There is drama in Philly.
Matthew Stafford is a stud.
Seahawks defense is nasty.
Aaron Rodgers is the 4-seed.
Browns and Raiders are eliminated.
Your childhood ain’t over yet.
Thank you everyone for the support!! Surgery went well. I just want to thank the city of Philly for taking the best care of me. Every moment I spent in the hospital with family and friends I felt loved and supported in every way❤️ thank you to the doctors, surgeons, and staff that did their best work on me.
