Was Garret Anderson A Cast Member On Fresh Prince Of Bel Air?
In the comments section of my post on Garret Anderson somehow, most likely through dark sorcery and blackmail (dirty pictures or stories of Joe Torre?), keeping his job, commenter Dusto_Magnifico opined that Garret Anderson, in the below baseball card from some time in the 1990s, looks strikingly similar to Carlton Banks, the iconic character from the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. I have...

Excuses For Garret Anderson Reflect A Bigger Problem
Despite underperforming similarly to a lot of other Dodgers players who have been blasted publicly for their play, Garret Anderson has been sheltered from the criticism, much like Mark Sweeney of years past.
Based on what Joe Torre says, I would guess the Dodgers are never getting rid of Garret Anderson.
"Hopefully that gets him started," said Manager Joe Torre. ...

Did I Or Didn't I: Quotes About Garret Anderson
This should be a rather simple exercise, as the question is: did I or didn't I write these paragraphs about Garret Anderson myself?
Joe Torre maintains that it's about more than stats when it comes to a veteran presence such as Anderson.
"There's so much more to him than numbers," Torre said. "When you're coming off the bench, it's tough to...

Even Garret Anderson Can Walk It Off
As if giving a lesson to all the little boys out there watching the game, veterany Garret Anderson hit a bloop walkoff single to drive in Matt Kemp and win the game today. What was the lesson? Even if you suck at baseball, you can still be a hero.
By the way, we better get used to seeing him in Dodger Blue, because he's not going anywhere soon after today.

Goodbye Garret Anderson; Goodbye, "GAARP"
Didn't want to end this week without some words on Garret Anderson, who retired from baseball on Tuesday. Anderson was with the Dodgers for much of 2010, and in typical Joe Torre style favoring veterans, appeared in 80 games for the Dodgers, which was at least 70 games too many.
Oh, what a horrible year. Anderson's batting average sunk beneath the Mendoza line on April...

Garret Anderson Retires
The only surprise is he admitted it For a long time, he was a bugbear to me in that he represented many of false things about the Angels' offensive strategery, in particular, RISP2 hitting as a skill; but his career .239/.330/.570 line with two strikes wasn't terrible. I hope he returns to the Angels organization in some capacity.

Since he was drafted back in 1990 by the then-California Angels, Garret Anderson has enjoyed a fine, respectable career.
