2002 - Angels’ Game 6 Miracle Sparks 2002 Title

The 2002 World Series marked the first and only championship for the Los Angeles Angels franchise (then the Anaheim Angels). In a thrilling seven-game series against the San Francisco Giants, the Angels completed an unforgettable run as a Wild Card team. Facing a 5-0 deficit in the bottom of the 7th of a pivotal Game 6, the Angels staged a dramatic comeback, fueled by their signature “Rally Monkey” fan phenomenon. In one hour, the Angels turned a 5-0 deficit into a 6-5 victory. After a three-run homer by Scott Spiezio and a go-ahead two-run double by Series MVP Troy Glaus, the Angels secured a 6-5 victory. They then clinched the title in Game 7 with a 4-1 win, capping off a remarkable season for a team known for its gritty, team-first approach. The Angels won no championships before 2002, and they have won no championships since then.
