Anaheim Angels

The Angels won the World Series in 2002, the franchise's only title in 65 seasons under any of its four names, and did it as a wild card — the club had never won a pennant before and has not won one since. It beat San Francisco in seven games after trailing the sixth by five runs in the seventh inning.

Eight seasons under this name at 664-632. The best is 2002, at 99-63; the worst is 1999, at 70-92. Disney owned the club through most of it, renamed it Anaheim to match the city and the park, and sold it in 2003.

Three Hall of Famers played here: Vladimir Guerrero, Eddie Murray and Rickey Henderson, the last two at the ends of their careers. Mike Scioscia managed the title club, the first of nineteen seasons he spent with the franchise. The name changed again in 2005, to Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
