Garret Anderson, Angels Legend, Passes Away

0:00It's April 17th. This is California News Today, local news powered by AI. Los Angeles Angels icon Garrett Anderson has passed away, the team announced today on social media. Details on the cause and location aren't out yet, but his impact on the franchise runs deep after 15 seasons in their outfield. Born right here in Los Angeles, Anderson started Kennedy High School in Grenada Hills as a three sport athlete before the Angels drafted him. Straight out of high school in 1990, he debuted in the majors in 1994 and stuck with the halos for nearly his whole 17-year career, minus a couple stints elsewhere. Fans cherished his clutch play, like that game changing three-run double in game seven of the 2002 World Series that sealed the Angels only, championship. He holds franchise records in games played at 2013, hits at 2003-68, and RBI's at 2002, 192, plus three all-star nods and insane reliability with over 140 games in 11 seasons.

1:06After retiring in 2011, he jumped into the Angels broadcast booth for pre and post-game breakdowns. Owner Arte Moreno called him a cornerstone of their success era. Tonight at Angel Stadium, against the San Diego Padres, the team honors him with a moment of silence, a special tribute video, and a GA patch on, uniforms through the season's in-legacy locked in forever.
