Here's to you again...... We will never have another one like him...... But that's life..... You come, you're here on this planet for some time and then you leave...... It's not all about winning....... Somethings like character, class, respect and a love of the game and love of life in general are more important than winning......
It was hard to be happy after yesterdays win but it was a good game and Garrett wouldn't have wanted it any other way.......... He really provided amazing insight in every postgame or pregame show he was in and not many people understood the game on the level he did....... The Angels could have easily lost the game too but they remained frosty after coming back from Yankees and home to the fans....... They did good for Anderson.
Again I can't understate what a real positive role model for the community and what Garret meant to the people here in Anaheim....... Sometimes we took it for granted especially as he was so young at 53, no one could have imagined or expected this to happen. He was so vibrant and healthy looking and just had this class, he looked like a Senator or a Statesman of a sort..... He was a real Ambassador of the game and Baseball and the town here too.....
Garret teaches us aside from exemplifying an amazing character that accomplishments in life and what one does in life like play for 17 seasons as he did or win a World Series or anything really matters little or not at all if you don't make a positive impact on to those around you and those in your community..... Because in the end you're not taking those accomplishments with you after you leave this Earth .....
What remains is what one leaves behind.......
And the impact they left on those around them and their community and to this point not many had a such a huge impact here in Anaheim and in the Baseball world here and the community like Garret Anderson.......
Goodbye and thank you for all that you did...... OF/Anaheim Angels/#16 Garret Anderson.
