Wow.

Well there was this fella in NY who was pretty good in World Series appearances as well. Rivera was on the mound for the final out of the 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2009 World Series. No other pitcher has recorded the final out of more than two World Series. Including those four, Rivera has closed out 16 postseason series, eight of those coming in save opportunities. But I agree Bumgarner is an absolute beast.

The Royals organization is a class act. Ned Yost especially.

I hope their fans can really get behind them. I was reading their average attendance was only 63% this year. That's a shame for such a fun to watch team and they have a nice stadium.

Agreed. They were very good for that city. I bet that they do better with attendance after battling SF to the final out in the seventh game. Great run.

I posted it in regard to his contract and what a steal that is

Lol just noticed that auto correct changed Yost to Host.

Final out in series is nice and all but that means he pitched four innings in four world series. Bum pitched 21 in this one alone.

Mariano is a hof player no doubt but it is no where close to what Maddy has done

MLB took the win from Bumgarner and gave it to Affeldt.

Woke up this morning and turned on the TV to make sure I wasn't just dreaming.
