It’s a small list – with most being post-1995 teams. as expected:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ANA | 2002 | 7 | Ind. Games |
| 2 | PHI | 2009 | 6 | Ind. Games |
| 3 | NYY | 1996 | 6 | Ind. Games |
| 4 | NYY | 2004 | 5 | Ind. Games |
| 5 | FLA | 1997 | 5 | Ind. Games |
| 6 | FLA | 2003 | 5 | Ind. Games |
| 7 | STL | 2011 | 4 | Ind. Games |
| 8 | NYM | 1986 | 4 | Ind. Games |
| 9 | MIN | 1987 | 4 | Ind. Games |
| 10 | BOS | 2004 | 4 | Ind. Games |
| 11 | BAL | 1979 | 4 | Ind. Games |

The Angels’ bats really carried them in the ’02 post-season. I still think someone needs to look into what was happening there…

I don’t think there’s much to look into. Whether they were on PED’s or not doesn’t change the fact that they won the World Series. Every team had PED users in 2002 so what would change if we found out that the Angels were PED users? It would only confirm what we already suspect. It’s not like stripping their title and giving it to the 2002 SF Giants would be any better, right?
I always suspected that they were stealing signs at home in 2002. Just a gut feeling.

I thought you meant PED’s. If you’re saying you think they were stealing signs, there’s even less of a reason to “look into” anything. That’s just good, old-fashioned baseball gamesmanship right there. It’s been going on for 130 years and counting. Props to them if they pulled it off, won a title and no one was any the wiser.
Yup, I did always suspect it
