Series Information

The 2002 World Series was among the classic matchups in the history of the Series. The Anaheim Angels (American League) and San Francisco Giants (National League) competed for the championship, representing the first time two Wild Card teams would vie for the elusive title. It was a mettle-forging comeback, with the Giants, leading the series 3-2, and up 5-0 in Game 6 and six outs away from winning the Series when the Angels scored three runs each in the seventh and eighth innings to win and force a game 7. The Giants never recovered and the Angels won 4-1 in Game 7 for their first championship.

Managers: Mike Scioscia (Anaheim) & Dusty Baker (San Francisco)
Venues: Edison International Field of Anaheim (Anaheim) & AT&T Park (San Francisco)
Series MVP: Troy Glaus (Anaheim)
