A cause of death was not made known, but TMZ reported on Friday that Anderson suffered a medical emergency at his home in Newport Beach, Calif., and officials responded to a call of an unconscious male.
Anderson was drafted in 1990 and played 15 seasons with the Angels before brief stints with the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2002, 2003, and 2005, he was selected as an MLB All-Star.
After Anderson retired from the sport in 2011, he said, “It was truly a privilege to play this wonderful game," according to the MLB.
In his speech after being inducted into the Angels Hall of Fame, Anderson prided himself on being "a good teammate" throughout his career. "And being a good teammate goes a long way with a lot of people. If you go out and respect your teammates and pull for ‘em and give ‘em tough love when you have to, it goes a long way," he said, adding, "So that was the biggest compliment for me, people saying I was a good teammate."
