About the Team
 one of the longest-established professional baseball
teams
the franchise has won the most games of any team
in the history of American baseball,and any North
American professional sports team
 the first major league team based in NYC, most
memorably playing at the legendary Polo Grounds
 have won 23 National League pennants (Giants'
eight World Series Championships rank second in
the National League and are tied for fourth
overall)
 appeared in 20 World Series competitions (14
times in New York, six in San Francisco)
2014 World Series
 The 2014 World Series was the 110th edition of the MLB
championship series, a best-of-seven playoff between San Francisco
Giants and Kansas City Royals.
 The Giants defeated the Royals four games to three to clinch their
third World Series championship in a five-season span , and their third
overall since the club's move to SF from NYC. It was the Giants'
eighth World Series championship in franchise history.
Background
 Kansas City Royals
 The Royals made their third World Series appearance in franchise history ( 1980
when they lost to the Philadelphia Phillies in six games ;1985 when they defeated
the St. Louis Cardinals )
 The Royals entered the 2014 World Series after defeating the Oakland Athletics.
They were the first team to enter a World Series with an 8–0 record in that year's
postseason and only the second to enter the World Series undefeated in the
postseason.
 San Francisco Giants
 The Giants made their third World Series appearance in five years, having won in
2010 and 2012, their 20th appearance overall, and their sixth appearance since
moving to San Francisco from New York City in 1958.
San Francisco Giants WON the Series
About the Game and the
Championship
 The San Francisco Giants beat the Kansas City Royals, 3-2, to win Game
7 of the 2014 World Series and earn their third championship in the last
five seasons.

How did the Giants WIN ?
 Maybe we focused so much on how
improbable a Royals’ championship that we
lost sight of how absurd it is that these
Giants did it yet again. No team in the 2014
postseason had a worse record in the regular
season.
 Baseball can be pretty ridiculous sometimes.
(2010)when they needed big performances out
of dudes like Pat Burrell
(2012)when they swept a Tigers team (the best
pitcher and best hitter in the world)
(2014)when they played under-.500 ball from
June 9 through the end of the season.
That Just Happened again!
Madison Bumgarner had one of the
best postseasons of all time !
 The parameters of the postseason
have changed so much over MLB’s
history that it’s hard definitively that
the Giants’ ace had the best
postseason ever for a pitcher.
 But Bumgarner’s 2014 is one for the
history books regardless: He threw
52 2/3 innings — more than anyone
else ever did in a single postseason —
and in those 52 2/3 innings he had a
1.03 ERA and strikeout-to-walk
ratio over 7:1.
How did the Giants WIN ?
How did the Giants WIN ?
 Despite Hudson’s short outing in Game
7, he pitched pretty well for the Giants
enroute to his first-ever World Series
berth. Hudson is 39 years old, he’s the
active Major League leader in wins with
214, and he battled back from a
gruesome ankle injury that ended his
2013 season with Atlanta. During the
Giants’ champagne celebration, Hudson
called out, “I waited 16 years for this!”
Now, after 16 seasons in the Majors ,
Hudson gets his ring.
Tim Hudson got a ring !
How did the Giants WIN ?
 Pence went 12-for-27 with three walks —
good for a .500 on-base percentage — in
the World Series. Plus he scored eight
runs and played fine defense in right field
throughout. Practically any other year,
that’d be good enough to earn him World
Series MVP honors. But he made the
mistake of playing for the same team as
Madison Bumgarner.
Hunter Pence was good enough to be
World Series MVP !
How did the Giants WIN ?
 Pablo Sandoval also had a great series for
the Giants, just like he did in their 2012
run. But Sandoval is slated for free agency
after the season. He has been such a
mainstay on these Giants championship
team and such a popular player in San
Francisco that it’s hard to imagine him
playing elsewhere. But it could be that
Sandoval’s three-hit night in Game 7
represents the exclamation point on his
fine tenure with the club.
Farewell to the Panda?
