Batted .385 with 3 Home Runs and 8 Runs Batted In in the 2002 World Series against the Giants. Glaus recorded six extra-base hits in the World Series, pacing Barry Bonds.

In Game 6 of the Series, down three games to two, the Angels were behind 5-0 going into the bottom of the seventh. They were, in effect, nine outs away from losing the Series. They added 3 Runs in the 7th and three more in the eighth on a home run by Darin Erstad and a two-run double by Troy Glaus to win 6-5, completing the biggest comeback in World Series history by a team facing elimination. Troy Glaus eventually won the World Series MVP due in part to his huge hit.
