PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

In 2011, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim celebrate their milestone 50th Anniversary. Little could Gene Autry, the Singing Cowboy, have imagined when he walked into the American League's meetings in St. Louis in 1961, that he would leave as the owner of the expansion Los Angeles Angels. And from their earliest days at Los Angeles' Wrigley Field and Chavez Ravine to their 1966 move to Anaheim, from the California Angels to the Anaheim Angels and from Nolan Ryan, Jim Fregosi and Chili Davis to Garret Anderson and Tim Salmon, the Angels have long captured the devotion of the passionate hometown crowds. This October, join A+E Networks Home Entertainment and Major League Baseball Productions in commemorating 50 years of Angels memories with two spectacular, collectible DVDs: The Anaheim Angels 2002 World Series Collectors Edition and Angels Memories: The Greatest Moments in Angels Baseball History<.

The Anaheim Angels 2002 World Series Collectors Edition



It was teamwork and thunder sticks that brought the Angels their first ever World Series Championship after a 41-year drought, and it was a special group of individuals who delivered it, playing a team-oriented style of baseball under the steady hand of Manager Mike Scioscia. A comprehensive seven-DVD collection, the The Anaheim Angels 2002 World Series Collectors Edition contains every pitch, hit, clutch home run, sterling defensive play, and Rally Monkey-memory along with each glorious Anaheim Angels 2002 World Series championship moment.

This was a team that the year before finished the season 41 games behind in the division. This was team that in the 2002 postseason vanquished the mighty New York Yankees, captured the club's first American League pennant by defeating the Twins, and then outslugged the sluggers on the San Francisco Giants. This was the first AL Wild-Card to win the World Series. The Angles roster boasted very, very good parts but the sum of the parts was great. Championship great. Showcasing every unforgettable moment of the epic 2002 season, a special DVD audio-feature also allows fans to watch the World Series television broadcast and listen to the Angels Radio Network announcers, making this the ultimate memento for Angels fans everywhere.
