Tommy Hanson's toughest year was in 2013 with the Angels, when he suffered the worst ERA of his career. This was due in part to physical problems and personal tragedies. His stepbrother died at just 24 and Hanson spent three weeks away from the team, grieving, CBS Sports reported. At first he had tried to take only six days off, but after returning to start one game, he realized that he needed more time to mourn, USA Today reported. He said that it was the first time anything like that had happened to him and he didn't know how to deal with it. (Getty)
