« A New DH For The Angels
Main
Tavarez lost? Francona almost injured. »
October 5, 2007
The Angels' Garret Anderson is suffering from conjunctivitis in his right eye, which has left it quite swollen, seemingly a major obstacle for any hitter, especially for a left-handed hitter because the right eye is his "lead" eye, the one closest to the pitcher.
But Anderson is in the starting lineup in left field and batting cleanup tonight even though he is by no means over his bout with the problem.
"His eye looks puffier and puffier but his vision is getting better and better," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "He had an exam today and his vision is fine. He's very comfortable with what his vision is and he's ready to play."
