The then-Anaheim Angels made history on this date in 2002, as Game 7 of the World Series between the Angels and San Francisco Giants was played on October 27th. The Halos pulled off a miraculous Game 7 victory in what was the first, and still the only, World Series in franchise history.
It was a miraculous victory in the sense that the Halos turned to a rookie in John Lackey to toe the rubber in a win-or-lose the World Series game, and he came through in a major way. Not only did Lackey deliver, but rookie sensation Francisco Rodríguez continued to cement his nickname "K-Rod" in Game 7 as well.
