I saw this 2002 Angels team play the Blue Jays in Toronto that summer. Roy Halladay got the start for the Jays, but the Halos prevailed, 1-0. There was an old timers game that followed and I received tons of autographs from Spaceman, Henke, Guzman, etc. For me, that was baseball heaven.

The end and credits had me damn near tearing up, and then some dude screams "Barry Bonds you SUCK!!!" at 1:00:56 😂

The best thing is the Angels comeback...the worst is Dusty Baker thinking it's a good idea to allow his 3.. that's right THREE, 3, year old son to be a bat boy in the biggest games of the year 👎👎👎👎

watching in 2024 gang. Go Angels!

what is the music from 14.50 mark? to me that was the best inspirational sports music.

Baseball gods denied Bonds, Go Angels!!

There are truly angels in the outfield this season.

Talk about lightning in a bottle. The fact that none of these guys, besides Eckstein, went on to any post season play on the teams they ended up with shows how the collective was greater than any one guy. The closest thing we had to a "star" was Salmon.

If nick adenhart didnt get killed by a drunk driver, if kendrys morales doesnt shatter his ankle. We were a powerhouse of a franchise that got derailed by tragedy

I feel like this is one of the best World Series in history

I was so happy for my father in law who is a lifetime Angels fan. Plus as a Dodgers fan living in the Bay area I was laughing at Giants fans.

Do you still thank art or are you one of the people who forgot who got you your only hardware 🎉?

song played @ 22:00?

Its sad to see what this organization has become..

I thought the Angels would go on to form a dynasty. They never returned to the World Series, even though they later added Torii, Vlad Sr., Trout, and Ohtani.

As an Angel fan o obviously live this (who doesnt). I remmeber clinging to games on my radio at work for years... you knew around July this year was different. Ill poont oit here to younger fans, everyone obviously knows how the playoffs went. But one thing thats great in this time capsul is the battle with Oakland heading sown the stretch. Oakland was amazing that year. I remember having drinks witn Adam Kennedy one night and i brought that up. I told him I was glad they drew the Yankees in the first round instead of Oakland. And he said they felt the exact same way. Its too bad most fans dont remember that era... when the Angels and Oakland were two powerhouse teams...

Among them, there was no genius like Shohei Ohtani or Mike Trout. But they were a great team and the Angels won. In other words, no matter how many big stars you line up, if you don't have a good team, you won't win.

This was a complete team. I remember this as a kid.

Not a huge Scioscia fan but he did have them peaking at the right time. Not any superstars just a real team that played well together when they had to. I went to one play-off game against Minnesota and it was fun! Strange how most are hardly even known now (Fulmer, Glaus Kennedy) only Salmon and Anderson are visible.

Been an Angels fan since '75. 1982, 1986 and 1995 were heartbreaking and 2002 almost did the same thing. Years of falling short, this was truly a complete team effort of any WS championship team I've seen. This video was put on DVD and my dad, brother and I all gave each other copies of it for Christmas. Love my Halos!

Hell of a Halo team!

I was at Game 4 and 5 of the ALCS. I got to see AK's three home runs. That was just awesome. I wasn't able to get WS tickets, but I was extremely grateful to have been there in person to witness erasing the heartaches of my childhood (1982 and 1986). Hugging and high-fiving strangers and being near-deaf from the thunder sticks, and shouting, "Let's go ANGELS!" All the way back down the ramp and out to the parking lot, with my brother, sister, and dad with me, was an experience that I will never, ever forget. I am so thankful they went on and finished the job. 82 and 86? I don't even remember you anymore.

If they made a movie about this team, Michael Shannon would definitely play Scot Spiezio

I used to watch this 24/7 when I was kid….this is childhood memories….thank you for uploading this!

2002

Thank you so much for posting this! 🙏🏼❤️

Sometimes, to reach baseball heaven, you have to go through hell. From 6-14, potentially having 41 games back in the AL West. It was truly a magical year for the Angels to reach baseball heaven. 43 comeback wins, and it was truly magical when they came back in game 6.

Rest in peace dick e berg and Rory markas.

Such a storybook series. The fact that the Angels were the underdogs after starting the season 6-14, and were able to persevere in order to win the World Series against a team with the HR king and arguably one of the best hitters of all time, truly is an inspirational feat. Not to mention, that during 2002, the A's deployed their renowned "moneyball" strategy and enjoyed great success, Francisco Rodriguez established his prowess as a young reliever, and the historic game 6 comeback in the World Series. Such an amazing narrative to look back on, even 20+ years later.

The moment K-ROD was born.

Ohhhhh My....We had Dick Enberg before anybody!!! He was one of us....An Autry Angel. Glad I found this and to hear Dick once again. Also to hear Rory once again will always be the voice of our first WS.....Erstad Say's He's Got It!!!! Alway ectched in my mind.

You realise that if the Angels did it,then any team can win the World Series

And 20 years later, Dusty got his ting.

I feel so proud being related to Salmon. Love to have blood with an absolute Star.

Holy shit, did Washburn ever look like a chipmunk 🐿️ lmao.

I'm a Dodgers fan but I actually rooted for the Angels that series because they were against the Giants. That Angels team was special. That series was one of the best series I've seen.

I remember like it was yesterday. Driving home on the 405 freeway from work listening to the game.

The 2002 World Series champ need to be talked about more. They beat bonds and the GIANTS.

The best part of this WS was JT Snow watching the Angels win it all, WITHOUT him.

The wild cards serie

For about the Decade, the Angels briefly became the top Baseball team in California. The Dodgers were relegated to 2nd place thanks to Frank McCourt...

wow....ty

I remember watching this World Series 20 years ago as it was Bonds, the year of the Rally Monkey and the unforgettable game 6 I remember Scott Spiezio leading that comeback en route to the Angels and a championship in Game 7. Also other heroes like Glaus, Erstad, and blue chip players and the title says it all ‘Heaven In Seven’

Minute 40:40 really unbelievable how fast Bonds makes that swing

Who’s here after Dusty finally won a World Series as manager 20 years later?

just now realized thats Pierce Brosnan (James Bond) with Jackie Autry at 1:33:31

As a Dodger fan... I was so happy our little brother to the south beat the Hated one's to the North. I even went to the parade. Anyone but the Giants, Viva Los Doyers!!!
