The axiom that good pitching and timely hitting will win you a World Series title has been around as long as the Fall Classic. But few times ever proved that theory better than the World Series Champions, the San Francisco Giants. Riding the wave of an impossibly young and talented starting rotation, a lights-out closer and crucial hits from a self-proclaimed band of castoffs and misfits, the Giants silenced the powerful Texas Rangers in five games to capture their sixth World Series title and first since moving to the City by the Bay in 1959.
Languishing in fourth place the first week of July - just a game better than .500 - the Giants staged a great second-half rim, winning the National League West Division on the final day of the season before blowing past both the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies to reach the Fall Classic. Key in-season additions Cody Ross and Pat Burrell fueled the offense and nicely complimented seasoned vets like Juan Uribe, Aubrey Huff and World Series MVP Edgar Rentoria. But there's no doubt that is was the Giants' pitching staff - guided by the deft hand of talented rookie catcher Buster Posey - that stole the show. Matt Cain did not allow a run in 21.1 brilliant innings of postseason play. twenty-one year old Madison Bumgarner defied his age with a cold as ice performance to win Game 4 on the road. And two time Cy Young award winner Tim Lincecum twice bested Cliff Lee, including a stellar performance in the clinching Game 5 showdown. With the unflappable Brian Wilson always there to close things out, the Giants' pitching staff held the powerful Texas offense to a meager .190 batting average.
