Anaheim Sports, Inc., operates The Walt Disney Company’s two professional sports franchises, Major League Baseball’s Anaheim Angels and the National Hockey League’s Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.

The Angels enjoyed their finest season ever in 2002, winning the World Championship after reaching the World Series for the first time in their 42-year history. Their performance in post-season play established numerous individual and team records and earned the Angels the reputation as one of the greatest comeback teams in MLB post-season history.

The Angels, whose 2002 success was a result of outstanding teamwork and perseverance, were one of the most consistent teams in baseball, finishing the season in the top five in three key categories: pitching, fielding and hitting. The Angels also boasted a world-class starting rotation, reliable bullpen and productive offense throughout the memorable 2002 campaign.

Next year also looks bright for the World Champion Angels, who will return with seasoned veteran leadership and promising young talent under the direction of Mike Scioscia, The Sporting News’ 2002 American League Manager of the Year.

The Ducks are in the midst of their 2002-03 season, with high hopes for a solid finish to the year. The Ducks have a strong foundation with first-rate goaltending and defense. The focus this season has been on strengthening the offense, recruiting new talent and developing strong leadership.
