I read on another baseball board that Anderson was playing rec league softball in Phoenix last season and was absolutely crushing the ball. He can still abuse a 70 mph fastball if the ball is a little bigger. (I am not making this up.)

Also, he was in the best shape in his life. (I made this up.)

“*I think someone mentioned him in the original comment thread too.”

Darn! I’m still looking for my first mention in a Hardball Times post apparently.

Wait, Garret Anderson is alive? Then who was that dead guy who played LF for the Braves in 2009?

Jimmy Wynn…. that’s a good one. Missed that one.
Hey, for the Angels, what about Garret Anderson? 15 years there, about 2400 of his hits there, 4 seasons of 100 RBI, about 1300 of his RBI there, .293 career average…. And he’s not dead. Figured I’d throw that one out there.

I for one am glad to see him shower some love on Keith Hernandez and John Olerud.

Would be great to see the halos rehash this uni design.
