ANAHEIM -- The Angels celebrated "Moving Day" on Thursday, giving their Arizona-bound equipment truck a sendoff with a fan event that included autograph signing by past greats Chuck Finley and Garret Anderson plus current left-hander Tyler Skaggs.
Bats, balls and bubble gum were among the essentials shipped to Tempe Diablo Stadium, an eight-hour, 365-mile trip for the truck, Angels equipment manager Keith Tarter said. It will be his 23rd Spring Training with the club he first joined as a bat boy in 1991. He served as assistant equipment manager for 15 seasons before getting the top job in November 2009.
