Angels celebrate 2002 World Series champs’ 20th anniversary

ANAHEIM — For a brief moment in the disappointing 2022 season, Angels fans could rejoice in 2002.

That applied to a few players too.

Angels pitcher Michael Lorenzen was a 10-year-old from Fullerton who celebrated the 20th anniversary of the franchise’s only World Series championship.

“It’s really cool for me to be on the team 20 years later,” Lorenzen said. “It’s awesome.”

Infielder Matt Duffy, who was 11 in 2002, said he attended Games 1 and 6 of the World Series, although his faith was dwindling when Scott Spiezio’s drive sailed toward the right field fence in Game 6.

“When it went over the fence I had my head in my hands,” Duffy said.

Duffy said he was undersized growing up, so shortstop David Eckstein was his favorite player. Duffy said he wore No. 22 – just like Eckstein – at Lakewood High.

Infielder David Fletcher, who was 8 in 2002, said he didn’t go to any of the games, but he went to the championship parade.
