Lucky 13th Anniversary of the greatest moment in Angels history.

True Angels baseball remember exactly where they were on October 27th, 2002 when Rory Markus uttered the famous words that still send chills up and down my body. “Fly ball, center field, Erstad says he’s got it. Erstad makes the catch! The Anaheim Angels are champions of baseball.” Today marks the 13th anniversary of the greatest moment in Angels baseball history. 44,598 fans experienced the moment live at then Edison International Field. My best friend Dave and I along with his dad, and my second “dad” Guy. who fanned the flames of my love for baseball growing up, were seated in Section 430 down the right-field watching and waiting in anticipation for this magic moment.
