James Fregosi

Skipper,
You always had time for me and were kind. I think of you often. RIP Colonel Tony Atlas

I wrote a book called Wasted Youth. It is not about baseball in particular but chapter #7 "Hero's and Villain's" tell the story of the effects Jim Fregosi had on a young boy's life. If anyone from the Fregosi family wants to read it I can send you a copy or you can get it at Amazon. Jimmy was my life from the time I was 6 years old in 1961 and all through my childhood he was and still is the only true idol i have ever had. I would love for you to read it. RIP #11 you will never be forgotten...

I met Jim Fergosi when I was at my friends house in Anaheim trying to change my tire with the jack between myself and the tire and trying to pull the tire off! I looked over my shoulder and Feergosi was running toward me at top speed and made it just in time before the car and tire fell on top of me. I asked my friend Jennifer Harper how did he run so fast--her reply: "That's Jim Fergosi, short stop for the Anaheim Angels!"

11 angel legend

Jim Fregosi was one of my favorite players of all times. He was very personable with fans and just a very lovable looking man. Eventhough I live in TEXAS, I was originally a Califonian and he will always be an Angel to me. I can just imagine the Dream Team he is joining upstairs. God bless him. My heart goes out to his family. He was definitely one of the best.
