The greatest season in Angels history, the one that ended with manager Mike Scioscia lifting the 2002 World Series trophy over his head with general manager Bill Stoneman and former owner Jackie Autry at his side, was on the verge of collapse late in April that year.
A 15-6 thrashing at the hands of the Seattle Mariners on April 22 and a 1-0 loss in Safeco Field the following night dropped the Angels to 6-14, their worst 20-game start in franchise history.
Pitchers had a 5.22 earned-run average and allowed a major league-high 30 homers through 20 games.
