The Angels had plenty of planned tributes in place to honor Skaggs\u2019 memory. Seeing as this was their first home game since his tragic death, every member of the team took the field wearing his number 45 jersey. Additionally, the Angels added an image of Skaggs to the center field wall, along with a numbered patch reading \u201cIn Memory of Skaggs\u201d. To top it all off, the Angels had his mother, Debbie, throw out the first pitch. Debbie was joined on the mound by Skaggs\u2019 wife, stepfather, and stepbrother.<\/p>\n
