The 2002 Anaheim Angels season was a historic landmark for the franchise, culminating in their first World Series championship. Under manager Mike Scioscia, the team achieved a 99-63 record, securing the American League Wild Card berth after a remarkable turnaround from a 6-14 start. The season was defined by a high-powered offense led by Garret Anderson and Troy Glaus, alongside a dominant bullpen anchored by Troy Percival and rookie sensation Francisco Rodriguez. Their postseason journey was a series of thrilling comebacks, most notably in Game 6 of the World Series, where they overcame a late five-run deficit to defeat the San Francisco Giants and ultimately claim the title in seven games.
