2002 World Series

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 wildcard teams would vie for the elusive title. It was a mettle-forging comeback, for the Giants were leading by a 3-2 game tally after five games, and scored five runs prior to the seventh-inning stretch of Game 6 while the Angels had not tallied a single run. Then, however, the Angels, being the home team, rallied with three runs each in the seventh and eighth innings for the win. They carried on the momentum for a 4-1 victory in Game 7 for their first championship.
