11. both teams in the World Series started as wild card teams....

Oct 2014

KC has set a post season record for winning 8 straight in the post season. Giants were the visiting team in the wild card game and won 8-0. Both teams beat the team in their respective league that finished with the best record during the regular season. Both teams win games in exciting, dramatic fashion.

Both teams are awesome.

That being said, I have been Giant fan since I was old enough to follow baseball. Maybe because I live 90 miles from SF, but more likely because my dearly departed mother was a Giant fan before they moved west from New York. I saw my first Giants game in 1958 in Seals Stadium while Candlestick was being built.

I love the Giants and I respect the KC Royals, they are a great ball club. Both teams get the most out of what they have to work with.

So, lets get it on and may the best team win. The real winner are the fans. I love baseball.

Perfect way for them to move on. TDale313 Oct 2014 #1
