Sitting watching the pre-game already had me in tears and that was even before the ceremony to honor Tyler Skaggs. Watching the way the LA Angels team greeted Tyler’s mom Debbie, brother Garrett, and wife Carli in the dugout was a picture of class, kindness, and compassion. Everyone was hugging the trio including team owner Arte Moreno and his wife Carol. My tear ducts were already flowing freely.
Then came the on-field ceremony where Tyler’s jersey was carried out, a 45-second silence to honor #45, and a video montage of some Tyler Skaggs best moments played on the scoreboard.
