After one further appearance in 2014, the Angels fired Scioscia in 2018. The Angels would sparingly use the Rally Monkey mascot after the 2002 World Series and unofficially retired it after the 2009 postseason. Both David Eckstein and Scott Spiezio later played for the St. Louis Cardinals world championship team. Eckstein and Spiezio played alongside Yadier Molina, younger brother of Bengie and José Molina, on the Cardinals. José later won a second World Series title with the Yankees, while John Lackey added two World Series rings with the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs.
