The 57 came to a complete stop and people started getting out of their cars as the fireworks went off after Erstad made the final out, it was a sight to see from inside the stadium.

[@GalesSuarez]

Francisco Rodriguez in his Rookie year, an was AMAZING, a very underrated closer IMO. (Now his prime is gone but he was really good)

Technically his rookie year was 2003. He had a month of MLB experience before the post season.

he was technically perci's set up man then but still awesome though.

[@tywins3669]

I grew up seeing going to Angels games in the 80s and 90s growing up in Southern California. Been a die hard fan forever. Was stationed in CO in the Amry for this series. I was working nights at the airfield at fort Carson (as an aircraft mechanic). D Had a radio at the hanger and listened to every game. Game 7 had aircraft flying to launch and recieve and had to occasionally run from the radio in the maintenance office to thw flight line. After I would do my duty I would run back to the office to sit at the small shitty radio to listen to the broken static of the game. Working with a bunch of guys and gals who couldn't care less about 2 California teams in the world series this series meant the world to me. We won game 7 and the next day I was off night shift. Such great memories of my young adulthood.

[@prpleandgold09]

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

[@kilejosephkropko9901]

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.

[@12papara]

I was part of this Angel's run. I was there, along side my Father in Law, for every single home game. All the way until the Game 7. Awesome memories

[@skyscraper14]

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!

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.

[@RoxRock4ever]

The 2000's was a largely sucky decade in a lot of ways... but not in baseball. The World Series of that entire decade were spectacular, even the sweeps. 2001, 2002, 2003 all went seven. We saw FIVE teams make their first ever world series (D-Backs, Angels, Astros, Rockies, Rays), the Red Sox, White Sox, and Phillies all break their extended titleless streaks, and some unbelievable players and moments. In the ten world series from 2000 to 2009, we saw 14 seperate teams make the world series, almost half the entire league. Wow.

[@rafaelramirez1507]

[@hmhm856]

What I remember about the Angels in 2002 (I'm not an Angels fan): 1- Sensational team offense = Win or lose, they had 10 hits or more in the game. 2 - Great bullpen, with Percival closing, and September call-up K-Rod doing damage, and all those guys. 3- Their starting pitching were nothing sensational, but they pitched quality starts each game, so they kept you in the game until the offense can take over and then their sensational bullpen can close it down. With all that said, it is unreal that this team won 100 games in that incredible elite division with Oakland and Seattle. And even though Texas had a losing record, they were not a walk in the park. If it wasnt for this 2002 season, the Angels would be known as a cursed franchise, due to all their September collapses in the 1980's and 1990's, along with their postseason heartbreaks collapses in 1982 and 1986, and barely making the postseason since they started in 1960 I think What always surprised me about this 2002 Angels is that in 2003 the Angels were a bad team, finishing with a losing record. Like, I expected you to compete in 2003 since youre still a team that mostly had players in their prime or were young, so I have no idea what happened to them in 2003.

[@benjaminenriquez1102]

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’

[@mikek3974]

Grew up just down the street on Katella Ave. This was unbelievable. There will never be another team like this for us. From top to bottom they were so easy to root for.

[@mikes7446]

[@SmoothCriminal12]

That bullpen of K-Rod, Percival and Donnelly doesn't get enough credit. They played great throughout the playoffs.

[@StivenBonillaNY]

[@philmccrackin89]

[@landkevin28]

K-Rod was absolute beast. Loved watching him pitch

[@randallbowman2930]

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.

They need to be Anaheim again. Teams need a distinct identity.

[@hhluvzmagik]

I was actually at Disneyland the night of Game 6. I was leaving the park (I was in the magic shop) when I found out that the Angels won. And driving up Harbor Blvd, you could hear horns honking all over Anaheim! It was a glorious moment! And now it's kind of sad to see Fish 2.0 (Trout) being wasted on a going-nowhere team. And this from a Dodger fan.

That home run from Bonds in right field was a bomb and the come back was unreal! So many Giants fans were stunned after they had just spent the entire game gloating that they were going to watch their Giants celebrate the world series win that night after being up 5-0, man it was great. This video brings tears to my eyes. My dad and grandfather went to game 7 and watched the Angels celebrate from field level seats.
