"Eric Gagne (HBP w/ Bases Loaded to End WS): In a truly bizarre and devastating moment, Eric Gagne (pitching for the Texas Rangers against the San Francisco Giants) recorded the only HBP with bases loaded to end a World Series in 2002. A walk-off hit-by-pitch is a uniquely painful way to lose."
Huh? Those two teams did not face each other in the 2002 World Series; Gagne pitched for Texas less than one season in 2007 and appeared for Boston in the World Series that year against Colorado. He recorded no HBP and his team won. It was his only World Series.
