The truth is, there wasn’t a better moment in all of sports in 2019 than when the LA Angels returned to Anaheim in front of a sold out crowd to honor Tyler Skaggs. Even before the night became historic, the pregame was chilling.
The pregame reached its peak when Debbie Skaggs, Tyler’s mother, threw out the first pitch. After writing Tyler’s initials in the mound, Debbie uncorked an absolute missile right down the pipe to a crouched Andrew Heaney. After that, the Angels took the field with every single player donning #45 and the same last name: Skaggs.
