Thursday's A.M. Hot Clicks: San Francisco Celebrates Another Title
Dynasty!
Madison Bumgarner and Buster Posey :: Jed Jacobsohn/SI
The Giants capped off a memorable World Series with a 3-2 Game 7 victory over the Royals to capture their third championship in five years. Madison Bumgarner dominated again, pitching five scoreless innings, but the representative from Chevy who awarded Bumgarner the MVP is all anyone is talking about. Pablo Sandoval celebrated the victory by wearing a Panda head while Bumgarner was too tired to shotgun six beers. Barry Bonds was among the fans partying at AT&T Park but did not partake in any couch-burning. You gotta feel happy for this lifelong Giants fan who never thought he'd live to see him team win a World Series.
