LA Angels fans everywhere will most likely remember where they were at 8:19 P.M. on October 27, 2002 when Darin Erstad squeezed the final out of the 2002 World Series setting off a wild celebration at then Edison International Field.
Rory Markus, the late Angel announcer made the famous call, ” Fly ball to center field, Erstad says he’s got it, Erstad makes the catch!!! The Anaheim Angels are champions of baseball.” Those 20 words still give me goosebumps whenever I hear the replay of the Markus’ call.
As big of an Angels fan that I am many would be surprised that I did not hear Markus’ call of the final out live.
