To his credit though, he's also been involved in this:
Vaughn is a managing director of OMNI New YorK, LLC, along with Eugene Schneur, which has bought and rehabilitated 1,142 units of distressed housing in the New York metropolitan area. The company also manages these properties to provide low cost housing using government tax credits. He purchased the Noble Drew Ali Plaza in Brownsville, Brooklyn for $21 million, and plans to add massive security upgrades and renovate it.[10] He has also been involved in refurbishing the Whitney Young Manor in Yonkers, New York, a development first constructed by a company owned by his hero Jackie Robinson. Besides the New York metropolitan area, his company is also involved in projects in Cheyenne, Miami and Las Vegas and has expressed an interest in Boston.[11]

Been looking through this thread over the last half-hour and, obviously, I'm shocked and saddened like the rest of you. Of course, I immediately thought of Nick Adenhart, and also of Darryl Kile, whose death came under similar circumstances.
I was already having an irritating day, having to go the doctor for a back condition that flared up, and then realizing I had a sudden problem with my car that will now be dealt with, but then I sat down for lunch with my Dad and hit the twitter ap on my phone, and the first tweet was from the club announcing the death. That put everything into perspective.
My thoughts and prayers to his wife and family. God that wedding video looks so melancholy now, seeing a young couple with their whole lives supposedly ahead of them and not knowing that Tyler would have just seven months left.
And, although it's already been stated, I have to say that Santa Monica Observer story was about the worst piece of journalism I've ever seen, and I've been in the newspaper business for a lot of years. The whole thing about the drugs was pure speculation, no sourcing or anything, and there was no reason to compare it with Tom Petty's death. If that showed up at my newspaper, the editors would have spiked it immediately and the reporter would have been called in for a little meeting. And, then he brings up Tommy Hanson's death and how the Angels had to "deal with" it. Um, Hanson had been out of the organization for two years when he died, so I don't think this hit the Angels quite as hard as the death today. Nice job on your research.

How about Tony Phillips' homer in the ninth inning of that 1995 playoff with the Mariners. They were already down 9-0 and the game was pretty much over with the Big Unit on the mound.

Geez, he looks like David Spade in "The Benchwarmers."

As most of you probably know, the Angels' Double-A affiliate is moving from Mobile to Madison, Ala., for 2018 and now they have a name: the Rocket City Trash Pandas.
Before you groan too loudly, you'll see in the link that Trash Pandas was probably the best of a pretty weak group of nickname finalists.

And, of course, the announcement of the nickname reminded me of this:

When I was working at my college paper at San Diego State, the guy who was the men's basketball beat writer told us about traveling to the WAC tournament, where Stubing was one of the referees. Our reporter was hanging out on the court between games when he struck up a conversation with Stubing, who was sitting on one of the benches. Stubing asked our guy who he worked for and he told him he was covering the tourney for the school paper, and Stubing laughed and told him "Man, you're just a f**king pup!" 
"F**cking pup" was this guy's nickname in the newsroom for the rest of the semester.

Well, it's just after midnight on Oct. 27, so in the midst of constantly hearing about the Dodgers being back in the World Series, I can take a moment (or few) to reflect on the special night 15 years ago: Of Lackey's five innings, Garret's 3-run double, the bullpen coming up with one more shutdown performance, and finally the moment when that last out settled into Darin Erstad's glove.
Happy anniversary, fellow Angel fans.
