RIP Albie Pearson

Anaheim, CA – The Angels released the following statement regarding the passing of Albie Pearson.

"The Angels Organization was saddened to learn of the passing of former Angels All-Star Albie Pearson.

As a key member of the expansion Angels, Albie’s impact on our franchise was immediate. In the Club’s inaugural game in 1961, he would etch his name into the record books by scoring the organization’s first run. Albie would go on to lead the American League in runs scored in 1962 and represent the Angels in the 1963 All-Star Game, starting the game in center field. 

While Albie will always be a treasured member of the Angels Organization, his greatest achievements may have come away from the diamond. For over 20 years, he and his wife Helen dedicated their time towards impacting countless communities through their tremendous work with Father’s Heart Ranch. 

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to Albie’s wife, Helen, their five daughters and the entire Pearson family.”

Fond memories… thoughts and prayers to all.


Over the 1960-61 offseason, the Angels nabbed him as an expansion pick. Pearson would play six seasons with the Halos to wrap up his career. Consistently running high walk totals, the 5’5″ outfielder would go to put up a .275/.379/.366 line in just under 2700 plate appearances as an Angel. He hit .288/.420/.400 during his first season in Los Angeles and led the American League with 115 runs scored in his second. Pearson’s best year came in 1963, when he posted a .304/.402/.398 line in 684 trips to the plate. He earned his only career All-Star selection and finished 14th in AL MVP voting.
