As cathartic as it gets. The team that historically found ways to lose against the team that seemingly always found ways to win..................... and it went the other way
Troy Percival, Garrett Anderson, and Tim Salmon: the last three remaining Angels from that 95 team and their historic collapse (ironically they had finished a game back of the Yankees for the Wild Card which left them with no October safety net)
The Angels' first postseason appearance since 1986 and first-ever postseason series win, while the Yankees fail to reach the ALCS for the first time since 1997.
These 02 Yankees as prolific as their bats were with Giambi and Rondell and Raul.......... They never could replace the leadership of O'Neill and Tino. Those were the type of irreplaceable guys who knew how to win
@breadandcircuses8127 What Chris is talking about is that Paul O'Neill and Tino Martinez had the intangibles, the mental toughness, and such to thrive in the pressure packed media market like NYC. Also, I don't think the Yankees took a step back in 2002, as opposed to the Angels taking a MONSTER step forward. After all, what can you do when the whole team hits .378 and score 31 runs in the 4 games?
2002 was when it really felt like the Yankees ramped up trying to buy titles. It started that year with Giambi, and eventually became Sheffield, A-Rod, Kevin Brown, Pavano, Teixeira, Sabathia. As a result, the Yankees traded in the clutch core of Tino Martinez, Paul O’Neill and Scott Brosius for one that was more expensive and better statistically, but that didn’t have the knack in big games.
In the previous four years--except the D'backs--every team, it seemed, bowed to the Yankees' mystique and aura. NOT these Angels. In Game 2, the Halos were the first team ever to come back and win a playoff game in the Bronx when trailing after 7 innings. Then, they came back from five down in Game 3. And, of course, music to my ears, the epic 8-run inning of Game 4. The Halos did what no AL team did in 5 years: win a playoff series against Joe Torre's Yanks.
If anyone has watched SW561 2002 MLB highlights, then youll notice that all 7 regular season games between the Yankees-Angels were fun fun fun and CLOSE CLOSE CLOSE. Evenly matched. So its no surprise that all 4 games of this series were fun and close. Also, if you have followed the Angels in 2002, then youll notice that every game they played, win or lose, they got 10+ hits. I have never seen such an aggressive team offense since the Cardinals in the 1980's Its a shame that this ALDS didnt go 5 games.
I was relieved it didn't go 5 games. If it was, the Yankees likely would've have won it in front of the home fans. Plus, the Angels knew what happened the year before in the ALDS.
5:57 Soriano finally hits a home run (game 2 off "rookie" KROD) but it wont count for the 40/40 season stat. Now that I think about it, KROD will allow many home runs in his career in the postseason Jeter and Bernie hitting home runs in this series like in other postseason series. Troy Glaus and Tim Salmon were sensational. 7:29 Huge strikeout by Percival in game 2 with the bases loaded against Jeter. And then Percival with the clutch save in game 2 in the bottom of the 9th with runners on.
Yankees had nightmares playing the Angels in the playoffs. It wasn't until 2009 that they got there revenge. 2002 ALDS Lost Series 3-1 2005 ALDS Lost Series 3-2 2009 ALCS Wins Series 4-2
@breadandcircuses8127 From 1996-2001, the Yankees OWNED October, especially 1998-'99 when they went 22-3 in the playoffs. They won it all again in 2000 despite winning just 87 games. And had the D'backs not scored two off Rivera in the 9th, it would've been 4 in a row--and me out of baseball for a long time. Thus, when the Yankees had a lead in the playoffs, you'd flip the channel for something else--or turn it off. Not in 2002.

Yankees offseason moves: This is the final season that El Duque played for the Yankees. In the offseason, El Duque will get traded to Montreal where he will join his brother Livan Hernandez as they both will try to get the Expos into the postseason in 2003, but El Duque will miss the whole 2003 season with an injury. El Duque will return to the Yankees for the 2004 season. This was Ramiro Mendoza final season with the Yankees, as he will sign with the RSOX in the offseason. Mendoza will return to the Yankees for the 2005 season. So Mendoza will join Babe Ruth as players to win rings for both the Yankees and the RSOX. Johnny Damon will join that list later in his career as well This was Rondell White only season with the Yankees, as he will be traded to the Padres in the offseason This was Mike Stanton final season with the Yankees, as he will sign with the Mets in the offseason. Stanton will return to the Yankees for the 2005 season. This was Shane Spencer final season with the Yankees, as he will sign with Cleveland in the offseason
I got a bigger question. Why was Troy Percival NOT in the game in the 8th inning of Game 1? Scioscia learned his lesson, and the next night, he DID bring in Percival to fan Jeter with the bases loaded in the 8th inning. It's one thing to stop a few hitters. But what can you do when Tim Salmon's .286 average in the ALDS was the LOWEST among the starting nine? You can't.
It has been 16 years since the Anaheim Angels has been in the playoffs. It has been 11 MONTHS since the Yankees--103-58, AL East champs--have been there. And the Yankees are aiming for a fifth straight pennant, But the Angels--99-63 and the AL Wild Card winners by 6 games--are out to prove that they are not rolling over to any Yankee mystique and aura. Game 1 at the Bronx was a back-and-forth affair. The Yankees jumped ahead three times but the Angels answered back. Troy Glaus went deep twice, with his 2nd blast giving the Halos a 5-4 8th inning lead. But in the bottom half, the Yankees scored a two out run and then Bernie WIlliams blasted a three-run shot. New York won, 8-5. Come Game 2, Anaheim again jumped to an early lead at 4-0, only to see it evaporate. Alfonso Soriano's blast put the Yankees ahead 5-4 after 7 innings. Perhaps the Yankees ARE that invincible. Come the top of the 8th, though, Anderson and Glaus sought to flip the script with back-to-back home runs. And this time, Anaheim hung on to win, 8-6 and tie the series at 1 win apiece. Anaheim was the setting for Game 3, but the Yankees knocked Ramon Ortiz out after 2 innings. New York jumped to a 6-1 lead in the 3rd. The Angels had a response and then some. They scored two in the third, one in the fourth and by the 7th inning, they tied the game at 6. The Anaheim bullpen pitched 6 shutout innings, with two of them coming from Francisco Rodriguez (on the ALDS roster because another player was injured). The 20-year old K-Rod fanned 4 of the 6 he faces. And the Angels scored three in the bottom half (capped by Tim Salmon's blast) to win 9-6, with K-Rod getting his 2nd win in as many games. Now, in Game 4, the Angels looked for the knockout. Down 2-1 in the 5th, Shawn Wooten took David Wells deep to tie the game. The Angels then proceeded to execute the first-to-third on base hits 4 times in the inning, which led to an 8-run frame. It was more than enough for a 9-5 Anaheim win, and the Yankees are headed for their earliest vacation since 1997. For the Angels, their .376 team batting average was the highest ever for any postseason series. Steve Karsay, a Yankees' reliever, said it best: "They are hitting everything." Anaheim has won their first postseason series, and now we know there will be new blood representing the AL in the World Series. Question is, whom will the Angels face in the ALCS?
Yankees and Angels had a nice "rivalry" from 2002-2009. In game 2, El Duque was pitching a gem out of the bullpen, until that 8th innings. Remember that Mariano was injured 3 times in 2002, so the Yankees were not gonna used him in back to back games, nor used him for more than one inning per appearance in the 2002 postseason. And I was very surprised that the Angels sent Washburn for game 4 on 3-days-rest, when they were up 2-1 in the series
@@hmhm856 I know the answer on why Washburn. The game before, when the Yankees knocked Ortiz out in the third, it was John Lackey, who would've been the Game 4 starter, who came on to pitch three shutout frames. They HAD to use Washburn in Game 4. Thankfully, it worked out.
These compilations are great, thanks! Credit to the Angels, but the Yankees bullpen was shockingly bad in this series
Steve karsay
Their starting pitching was far worse
As cathartic as it gets. The team that historically found ways to lose against the team that seemingly always found ways to win..................... and it went the other way
The shoe never felt so good on the other foot.
Magical year. Never expected my Angels to win it all that year.
Troy Percival, Garrett Anderson, and Tim Salmon: the last three remaining Angels from that 95 team and their historic collapse (ironically they had finished a game back of the Yankees for the Wild Card which left them with no October safety net)
That '95 team had more talent in their everyday lineup but clearly lacked poise whereas these Angels seemingly always came from behind to win.
Your right I don't follow baseball like I used to it's too depressing with family members gone
The Angels as a team hit .376 😳
The Angels' first postseason appearance since 1986 and first-ever postseason series win, while the Yankees fail to reach the ALCS for the first time since 1997.
The seemingly never ending American League reign of the Yankees is over

thank you for the videos! It brought me back one of the finest period of my life~
🙏🏾
The 8 run 5th inning in game 4 was what the Yanks used to do to others (think 2000 ALCS Game 2 vs Seattle)
Always hated the bottom line on ESPN ruining the highlight result during the highlight!!! But inject all this nostalgia into me lol
The nostalgia tho
What an insane series offensively
2002 is the reason why the Mariners ended up overpaying jarrod Washburn
Seattle almost made the postseason in 2007 with Washburn leading the way... well, 10-15 record with an ERA over 4, so nevermind.
back to back Homers in game 2, the come from ahead loss in game 3, the inning that would never end in game 4.............. that about sums it up.
In the previous four years--except the D'backs--every team, it seemed, bowed to the Yankees' mystique and aura. NOT these Angels.

Good memories watching this on bokum
0:56 Jeter has no range lmao
Love how Torre says the magic of Yankee Stadium. No, those were great Yankees teams. Yankee mystique is not a thing.
Francisco Rodriguez: Remember that name
Don’t forget scot shields

That 8th inning game 2 bases loaded spot felt like it was setting up for more October Yankee magic. And then it wasn't

Once upon a time, if the Yankees had a 5 run lead ala game 3 you could change the channel.
But that was then. This is now.

The Angels have ended the Yankees reign in the American League. However we know that the Empire will Strike Back.
After Bernie Williams hit that 8th inning game 1 HR, did ANYBODY give the Angels a chance going into game 2?
