“When it comes down to honoring Nick Adenhart, in that respect, yes, it’s probably the biggest hit of my career, because I’m dedicating it to a former teammate, a guy who passed away.”

“It’s a different year, man”

Big hit, bigger heart.

I like that Vlad, who often seems aloof and solitary, shows solidarity.

I did not like Mickey Hatcher’s quote about Adenhart writing the Angels’ story in heaven.

SI has a really good story about Vladdy they just posted

After the game, when Guerrero was asked what pitch he hit, he gave an answer that summed up his 14 years in the major leagues: “I don’t know,” he said. “I just swung.” Reluctant as ever to accept attention, Guerrero dedicated his heroics to former Angels’ pitcher Nick Adenhart, who died in a car crash in April. Guerrero wore a T-shirt emblazoned with Adenhart’s likeness, and as the Angels dog-piled on the field at Fenway, pitcher Jered Weaver grabbed Adenhart’s jersey from a hanger in the dugout and shook it.

That hit will be the one I remember most of all. More than all the homers.

Autry was a great owner. Morales is a great owner. Sort of ironic that we – so far – have won our only championship under the Disney banner … hope this year we change that.

Vlad is perhaps the most humble, self-effacing star in baseball. You have to love that.

whatever people wanna say about stoneman, we gotta thank that man for bringing vladdy to this city. wherever he goes next year, i don’t think any halos fan will forget him and what he did for us.
