Remembering Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart, 10 years after his death
LA TimesThe path wasn’t clear, but the destination was not in doubt. Joe Saunders, a former Angels pitcher whose clubhouse locker was next to Adenhart’s, thinks Nick would have been a solid starter for five or six years before moving to the bullpen — like Hall-of-Famer John Smoltz — and becoming a dominant setup man or closer. “I took Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart and Henry Pearson’s lives and severely impacted Jonathan Wilhite’s life in many ways. “We’re always motivated as baseball players to win, but that extra added push was definitely for Nick Adenhart,” Hunter said. It didn’t work out for us, and we fell short, but at the same time, I think all of us got closer through Nick Adenhart.” :: Angels fans pay tribute to pitcher Nick Adenhart outside Angel Stadium on April 9, 2009.
