Celebrating Angels Need to Grasp Sobering Reality

by David WhitleyFiled under: AngelsIf you could remove one uncomfortable detail, there was a heartwarming scene after the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim clinched their division title on Monday night.They broke out the beer and champagne, sprayed it all over each other and then remembered Nick Adenhart. They got his jersey and poured the booze all over it, as if he were there with them.But Adenhart was there only in spirit. A drunk driver killed the 22-year-old pitcher in April.Not to be a party pooper, but yikes. Give the Angels points for irony, but a beer shower wasn't the best way to honor this particular teammate's memory.Celebrating Angels Need to Grasp Sobering Reality originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:42:00 EST .
