My Take
Garret Anderson always struck me as the quiet backbone of those Angels teams rather than the headline name, and I respect that enormously. Seventeen seasons of steady, professional left-field hitting is the kind of career that rarely gets the spotlight it deserves, yet it is exactly what builds championship clubs like the 2002 title-winners. A Los Angeles kid who reached the summit with his hometown franchise, he carried himself with an understated consistency I find more admirable than flash. Learning of his passing in 2026 hits hard, but his swing and his place in Angels history are permanently secured.
