Angels assistant Preston Gomez struck by a truck at a Gas Station

Hope for a full recovery.

An 84-year-old baseball veteran and special assistant to the Los Angeles Angels’ general manager was seriously injured Wednesday when a pickup truck struck him at a gas station, police said.

Preston Gomez suffered major head injuries after he walked around gas pumps at a Chevron station in Blythe, about 220 miles east of Los Angeles, and was hit by Jesse Mashore, 31, said Blythe police Sgt. Jeff Wade.

Wade called it an “unfortunate accident,” and said Mashore was holding Gomez’ hand when police arrived, about 220 miles east of Los Angeles. Mahore was not arrested.

Gandhi must have needed to get home from work in a hurry.

Mahore was not arrested.

Do the police realize that Jesse Mashore is the president of both the Clay Kirby and Don Wilson Fan Clubs?

Mashore is a patsy.

Jeff Kent was driving that truck to be washed.

Never fill up in Blythe. Go less than 5 miles, cross the Colorado River into Arizona and there are a few gas stations that are $.50 a gallon cheaper.

And I pray for a full recovery.

Does this mean asst coaches are going to be required to wear helmets while pumping gas?
