Last Sunday, in advance of the current SF-Angels interleague series, broadcaster Dave Flemming said fans would get a chance to revisit the 2002 World Series. Believe me, Dave, no Giant fan wants to revisit that heart-wrenching loss.
The Giants were up, 5-3, as the Angels came to bat in the bottom of the eighth inning. The Giants were six outs away from winning the World Series in six games. What followed has become a dirge to Giants fans:
Erstad homers off Worrell. Giants' lead cut to 5-4.
Salmon singles. Figgins pinch runs.
Anderson singles Figgins to third. Anderson moves to second on an error by Bonds.
Nen relieves Worrell.
Glaus doubles home two runs.
Angels take 6-5 lead.
Giants lose Game 6. Giants lose Game 7.
Darn. I think I just re-visited the 2002 World Series. Exactly what I didn't want to do.
