2002 World Series (2002)

Description

It was an all-California World Series - the first ever between two wild card teams - and both the Anaheim Angels and the San Francisco Giants were in search of a dream. The Angels were in the World Series for the first time in their 42-year history. The Giants hadn't won one since they moved to San Francisco in 1958. The result was a Fall Classic that will forever be remembered for one of the most astonishing comebacks in history. Behind the superhuman effort of Barry Bonds, the Giants appeared in complete control, with a 5-0 lead in the seventh inning of Game Six. Nine more outs and they would be champions. Then came the Rally Monkey - the offensive explosion - the roar of thousands of ThunderStix - and the never-say-die attitude that had made Anaheim a winner all year. When the dust cleared, the Angels truly were in seventh heaven. This is the story of two teams playing the wild card in search of a title. It's the tale of one of the greatest players ever - and his valiant effort to secure that elusive title for the fans of San Francisco. And for the World Series champion Anaheim Angels, it's a clear celebration of teamwork, chemistry, and yes, just a little monkey business.
