Garret was a cornerstone of our organization throughout his 15 seasons and his stoic presence in the outfield and our clubhouse elevated the Angels into an era of continued success, highlighted by the 2002 World Series Championship.""
""Garret didn't seek the limelight. A classic lunch-pail guy. He was a superstar, he just didn't act like it.""
