Angels Legend Garret Anderson Dies at 53

The franchise is moving quickly to memorialize its all-time hits leader.

Overview

  • The Angels announced his death Friday, saying details such as cause and location were not being released.
  • Before Friday's game against the Padres, the team held a moment of silence, played a tribute video, cut his initials into the outfield, and committed to a season-long 'GA' jersey patch.
  • Several outlets, citing TMZ, reported he suffered a medical emergency at his Newport Beach home, a detail the team has not confirmed.
  • Anderson set franchise marks for games, hits, RBIs, total bases, doubles and more, and his three-run double in Game 7 sealed the 2002 World Series title.
  • He later worked as an Angels TV analyst and is survived by his wife, Teresa, and their three children, with additional official information on his death still pending.
