2002 World Series Game 6 Comeback Anaheim Angels

[@garrettsaito]

I know this comment won't get much attention, but I was a 8 year old kid sitting in those stands in 2002. When the last out was made in the bottom of the 6th inning, I began to cry to my dad thinking that the game was over. Taught me a very valuable lesson that I carried into my college baseball career: The game is not over until 27 outs are made. The philosophy of it never being over changed my life.

[@joeaf11]

I was a recently transferred junior at Cal St. Fullerton and what a time to move to the OC! I know what you mean! Good times!!!

[@PincheBeto_Bass]

Dude I was the same age. Unfortunately we were way too poor to afford tickets for a game, but I remember my entire family watching this and game 7 in some apartments on Catalina right off of brookhurst street. That game 7 win, was insane. The entire city celebrated like there was no tomorrow. I remember everyone running outside and looking towards the direction of the angels stadium, fireworks everywhere. What a hell of a night.

[@geeebuttersnap2433]

I was 9 years old, somehow or another my dad got 4 tickets for game 6, I think he won them on the radio. Funny thing is they were in the handy cap spot behind right field. So I elected to go in a wheelchair, it was worth it, going to a World Series game for the only time my team was in a World Series, you bet your ass in going. We sat in front of the inflatable gene autry Jersey. It truly was one of the best moments of my life.

Rory Sullivan not just Bonds but Dusty Baker also could not be five a World Series title because he chokes in the postseason so much.

[@easyenetwork2023]

Elestar Blogs I cannot blame Dusty for his pitchers blowing a 5-run lead in game 6. Barry missed the catch then made that bad defensive error that helped cost them that game. Also, defensive alignment against Glaus should have had Bonds further back than where he was to account for a double in the gap, which is maybe on Dusty.

[@cheeseitjn]

I'm glad to have witnessed in person one of the greatest ball games of all time.

[@Volcom13331]

[@amazinmets8439]

I'd rank the 2011 Cardinals as the 2nd best comeback. 1986 Mets vs. Red Sox is still the craziest, most wild comeback not only in baseball history, but in sports history. The Mets were down to their last out, down 2 runs, with NOONE on base. Then they were down to their LAST STRIKE FOUR TIMES which is insane. And to top it off, they tie the game on a wild pitch, and win the game on a ball through Buckners legs all during Mookie Wilsons at-bat! Nothing will ever top that World Series comeback, in my opinion.

[@Handlethis81637]

I was attending Cal State Fullerton at the time (a few miles north of Anaheim). It was an exciting time to be up there with the Thunder Stix and the Rally Monkey. Having Troy Glaus win MVP was extra special considering we’re alumni of the same high school. Great win for the franchise.

He has gone after big white collar type contracts that have suffocated the teams payroll, he has regularly talked about taking the team to another city and he gave our proud Anaheim Angels name to our natural rivals in Los Angeles!!! We may have been technically formed in LA but we never had a home there. Literally, never had a home, then Gene Autry found a welcoming home in Orange County and we were happy. But now our name and identity has been given to a city that could not care less about it. But we will always have 2002, and a trout and Ohtani are fun to watch.

Fun fact: The Angels' comeback in Game 6 is the largest in World Series history by a team *facing elimination.* For those that know baseball history, the 1929 Philadelphia Athletics overcame a larger deficit (rallying from an 8-0 scoreline against the Cubs in Game 4 to win 10-8), but they were leading 2-1 in the series at the time, so they weren't facing elimination. They held that lead to go up 3-1, then used a ninth inning rally to win the Series 4-1 on a walk-off single the next day.

Oh how fitting that Baker was managing this game. Now both of the most recent 5 run comebacks in World Series history have come against him with some sort of villain team (Bonds and now the Astros)

5:45, when Russ Ortiz puts his water bottle down, it looks like he’s saying in his mind while looking at the big hitters for the Angels, “Oh shoot the big hitters for the Halos are up” 😮😮😮😳

I used to watch Eckstein take infield practice, and he actually jumped to throw the ball to first. Crazy.

I'm here after watching the SB Nation Bonds video.

Spezio's HR was IMO the Series changer. The floodgates opened after that. And this team was NOT a team that you let get one ounce of momentum, because as we saw they will tear you to shreds (Ask David Wells, etc)
