Out of All of the "WORLD SERIES" that went the Full 7 Games, I actually think that the 2002 "WORLD SERIES" between the Anaheim Angels and the San Francisco Giants is 1 of the most underrated.
I thought (and still think) that it was a fantastic hard fought World Series between 2 Very Good Teams.

The ball that Bonds launched off of Troy Percival never actually landed, it just disappeared into the night sky, never to be seen again.

I myself was rooting for the Angels in that World Series however, I do think that the Giants would have won it in that Game 6 when they were up in that game 5-0 if Dusty Baker hadn't pulled Russ Ortiz from that game when he did.

Yes, this movie is about a man who can fly, the entire planet agreeing to giving their nukes to said man, Superman's "indestructible" hair being easily cut by Luthor and Ducky, the world's greatest criminal mind insisting on pronouncing the word Nuculur, Mariel Hemingway being able to breathe, rather comfortably, in outer space, Lois Lane being able to fly in general, two prison guards barely being injured after getting launched off a cliff inside a car that subsequently exploded, and Superman literally pushing the moon out of orbit and not causing an extinction level event on earth.....but perhaps the least believable thing in this movie is that if Superman really hit the the ball that hard, both the bat and ball would have been obliterated.

I remember Mike Scioscia getting so much grief for starting a rookie, John Lackey, in Game 7. "You can't start a rookie in a Game 7!". And Lackey hadn't pitched well in the series up to then. Loser in Game 4. But Lackey shut down the Giants.

When Spezio hit the homer in game 6, I knew it was over. Totally deflated me.

Interestingly, that Angels team is one of those championship team that did not have a stand out HOF, or borderline HOF. Correct me if I am wrong. The closest I can think of is Garrett Anderson. Another team I can think of is the 2015 Royals but may still be too early to tell.

Another team I can think of is the 2015 Royals but may still be too early to tell. Anderson and Troy Glaus were their best players that year, along with Tim Salmon and Brad Fullmer. Darin Erstad was their scrappy gamer who was more pesky than anything but he hustled, grinded out ABs and was really good that year in the playoffs, hitting well over .300. You had Bengie Molina behind the plate who was great defensively, Scott Spiezio, David Eckstein and Adam Kennedy were really good role players. Kinda like the KC Royals of 2015. They basically played well enough to win and did the little things - they didn't strike out a ton (except for Glaus), they put the ball in play, were aggressive on the base paths, and played great defense. Jarrod Washburn, Ramon Ortiz, Kevin Appier and John Lackey were dependable starters (Washburn was great that year), and they caught lightning in a bottle with Frankie Rodriguez in the playoffs.

Dusty Baker just HAD to make a show of handing Russ Ortiz the ball as he took him out of Game 6. It was a dopey gesture that you NEVER see managers doing, but good 'ol Dusty just HAD to do it in the 7th inning of Game 6 of the World Series.
The Angels noticed, and to a man, have always said that move really ticked off the dugout, and the entire momentum of the Series shifted with just that one poorly timed gesture.
Nice work, Dusty.....nice work. 👍

Are we going to have a discussion thread for every World Series in history, wolf? Because I'm actually all for that.
Even though we've pretty much talked the 1935 Series to death at this point.

If he does one about the 1986 Series, I've got about 5 pages of stuff that I can contribute. Many thoughts, many ideas, many theories..... |

John Lackey is one of those player that the stat doesn't do him justice. He is very reliable starter. Every team he belonged do well. He won 3 WS with 3 different teams, as one of the a key player. How many players can say that. He came up big with the Angels in that game 7.
