2002 World Series

The 2002 World Series was a baseball championship series between the Anaheim Angels and the San Francisco Giants. The Angels, considered the underdog, won the best-of-seven series in a four-game sweep, securing their first title in franchise history. Key performances included strong pitching and timely hitting, with Troy Glaus and Scott Speizio standing out. The series was marked by the Angels' dominant defense and pitching, combined with clutch offense, culminating in a well-deserved victory. This championship is remembered for the Angels' surprise success and their impressive postseason run, ending the Giants’ hopes of back-to-back titles after winning in 2000.
