Angels Honor Nick Adenhart In Victory

As part of the AL West-clinching celebration after their 11-0 win over the Rangers, Angels players soaked the No. 34 jersey in beer, champagne and tears. That jersey belonged to Nick Adenhart, who died at the beginning of the season in a car accident.

“We remembered Nick before we started,” manager Mike Scioscia said. “We’ve played the whole year with heavy hearts. But it was never about us, and it isn’t about us. It’s all about supporting Nick’s family in any small way, and we’re going to bring Nick’s memory forward.”
