Question

Was there any other World Series' winner besides the Angels who lost the first game of each series and won the whole thing?

I could look it up right now on baseball reference but not sure if it is worth my time right now.

The Angels are the only team since the playoffs expanded to three rounds. It happened five times during the two-round era (1969-1993).

(If you use the play index, it takes 15 seconds to look up.)

It didn't involve Trout so justatroutfan didn't have those 15 seconds to spare.
