Movie Reviews of 2002 World Series Video - Anaheim Angels vs. San Francisco Giants
Movie Review: another great world series
Summary: 5 Stars
Of course the nice thing about these tapes is that they show you how the teams got to the series which is often a great story. The Angels had to get by the Yankees to make their first trip to the World Series after many frustrating close calls, Anyone remember Donnie Moore? In the National League, Barry Bonds had just come off a phenomenal 2001 season but his great statistics did not bring the Giants to the World Series that year. Believe it or not the Giants have never won a World Series in San Francisco. In 1962 they lost to the Yankees when Bobby Richardson catch Willie ncCovey's line drive to end the seventh game. Then in 1989 they lost to their powerful cross-town rival Oakland As in what could well be called the earthquake series. Remember the big earthquake that hit the Bay Area just before game time that caused cancellation.
Now in 2002 the Giants finally had another chance behind the strength of Jeff Kent and Barry Bonds. Although egos clashed between Kent and Bonds they still were a very effective one two punch. Dusty Baker had done a great job getting the Giants back to the series one more time. But Mike Scoscia was materful as the Angels manager and he got the most out of this team that was led by Garrett Anderson and David Eckstein.
One thing I can't understand was how Dusty Baker could have his two year old son, who was too young to understand what was going on in the field, act as the team bat boy! This led to drama and near disaster as the little boy went to home plate to retrieve a bat when the play was in progress and J. C. Snow was heading for home plate. Although this did not affect the outcome of the game, Snow slid in safely at home and quickly carried the boy away from the action. Without this quick thinking the boy could have been seriously hurt and gotten in the way of the play as the next runner was attempting to score. This makes for a dramatic scene and great video entertainment.
Since neither team had a World Championship (the Giants had won a few in New York with 1954 being their last) one would be raising the Chamionship banner in their current ballpark for the first time. Well in the end after a great and very competitive series it was the Angels that came out on top.
Since in a seven game series the pressure is on during the seveth game, those that shine in game seven are the series heros. The guys who responded for the Angels were the two Troys, Percival and Glaus.
