The Angels announced they will sign Chone Figgins to a one-day contract Monday to allow him to retire as an Angel.
In a statement released by the team, the 38-year-old Figgins noted two memories from his eight seasons with the Angels: the time Manager Mike Scioscia told him he’d better see him soon when sending him down from big league camp, and the time he debuted in the majors as a pinch runner on the 2002 championship team, when Scioscia said he needed to make something happen.
Figgins improbably became an All-Star in his final season with the Angels in 2009.
