The winner of the American League Pepsi Player of the Week for the period of July 7-13, Anderson received the honor -- his second of the season -- on Monday, the first of two eventful days for the unassuming Angels left fielder.

The chronically overshadowed Anderson had a proverbial coming-out party this All-Star week in Chicago. The surprise winner of Monday's Century 21 Home Run Derby completed the awards trifecta by garnering All-Star MVP honors Tuesday night, going 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs for the victorious American League. Anderson became the first Derby-MVP double winner since the Orioles' Cal Ripken Jr. in 1991.

"All of Southern California has known about Garret for a long time," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Tuesday night in Chicago, "and the baseball community definitely has known about him for a long time."

It ended a whirlwind 10-day period for Anderson, who batted .435 (10-for-23) with three home runs and six RBIs in six games last week. The first two-time winner of the award in either league this season, he had 19 total bases, slugged .826, and had an OBP of .458.

It is also the fourth time a member of the defending World Series champion Angels has won the award in 2003. First baseman Scott Spiezio received accolades for the week of May 12-18, while third baseman Troy Glaus was honored for the period of May 19-25.

Anderson entered the All-Star break batting .316 with team highs in home runs (22) and RBIs (78).
