The club will honor its all-time hits leader with a season-long 'GA' patch.

Overview

  • The Angels announced his death Friday, a day after reports of a medical emergency at his Newport Beach home.
  • Officials have not released a cause of death, with multiple outlets attributing the medical-emergency detail to TMZ reports.
  • The team will wear a 'GA' memorial patch for the 2026 season, with a moment of silence and a tribute video before the home game against the Padres.
