On April 17th, Garrett Anderson, the angel's all-time hits leader and a key hero in their 2002 World Series win, passed away suddenly at age 53. The team announced it on Friday, calling him one of their most beloved icons after 15 seasons in Anaheim. He holds franchise records and gains played at 2013, runs batted in at 1,292, and total bases at 3,743. Traffited in 1990, Anderson starred as a power-hitting outfielder, earning all-star nods in 2002, 2003, and 2005. Angel's owner, Arte Moreno, praised his stoic presence and loyalty, sending condolences to wife Teresa and kids, Brienne, Bailey, and Garrett the third. Fans remember him as a class act and great teammate who respected the game deeply. The angels are honoring him with a memorial patch on jerseys for the rest of the season, starting Friday's homestand, that also hold a moment of silence and show a tribute video

before tonight's game. Anderson's legacy shines brightest in that World Series against the Giants, where his clutch hits drove in six runs, including a game-breaking double. In the decisive game 7, he embodied quite a grit that fuel championship runs and left a mark no one forgets. From around the league, powered by AI, this is MLB News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
