Los Angeles Angels legend Garret Anderson has passed away at 53 following a medical emergency at his home in Newport Beach, California. The team will honor him throughout the season with a memorial patch on jerseys and a moment of silence before Friday's game.
Anderson's son, Trey, shared a beautiful tribute to his father on social media, highlighting their special bond and Garret's impact on the team and the game.
Garret Anderson was a cornerstone of the Angels organization for 15 seasons, earning three All-Star selections and winning back-to-back Silver Slugger awards in 2002 and 2003. He became the franchise's all-time leader in games played, hits, RBIs, doubles, total bases, extra-base hits, and grand slams.
Anderson's performance in the 2002 World Series remains one of the defining chapters of his career, delivering a crucial three-run double in Game 7 against the San Francisco Giants.
