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.
