Impact and aftermath The Angels and the Giants combined to log 85 runs over the course of the series, the largest combined run total for both teams in World Series history. This remains the most recent World Series that was played entirely within one state.

Before 2002, they had been to the postseason three times in franchise history (1979, 1982, and 1986). They advanced to the ALCS in 2005 and 2009, but lost those series respectively to the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees, each while en route to their own World Series championship. The Angels were the most recent team to win the championship in its first World Series appearance until the Washington Nationals accomplished the feat in ; between 2002 and 2019, all first-time World Series participants would lose—the Houston Astros in , Colorado Rockies in , Tampa Bay Rays in , and Texas Rangers in . The 2002 Series run would be the highpoint of the Angels run with Mike Scioscia as
