I just remember the day it was announced on KDKA in Pittsburgh that he was retiring to take the manager's job for the Angels.

I remember his cards as well. Really sad to read the last sentence in his write-up on Wikipedia.

Jim Fregosi was the favorite player of Angel owner Gene Autry. He will always remind me of those Angel spring training days in Palm Springs. Thoughts and prayers to the Fregosi family.

When I was a kid growing up a few miles from Angel Stadium, Jim Fregosi was not only the best player on the Angels, he was the best player they ever had. I have many great memories watching him play. Rest in peace, Jim, and prayers to your family ...

Me too. I split time between the Angels and Dodgers, but in the day it was Fregosi (and maybe Alex Johnson) who were the studs for the Angels. RIP Jim.
