Tim Mead

Former Hall president, Mead,
others sued by late player's family

STAFF REPORT • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com

The Associated Press reported Tuesday, June 29, that the family of former Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs filed lawsuits Tuesday in Texas and California charging the team and two former employees with negligence in his drug-related death two years ago.

Former National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum President Tim Mead was one of the defendants named in the lawsuit, according to the AP. Mead spent most of his professional career with the Angels before becoming Hall president in 2019. He left the Hall in April, saying the coronavirus pandemic had made commuting to and from Los Angeles to see his family too difficult.

The lawsuits name the Angels organization, Mead and Eric Kay as defendants. Neither complaint specified how much money the family is seeking.
