Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants, who are World Champions for the first time since moving to the west coast more than 50 years ago. Their last title in New York came in 1954, when Willie Mays made “the catch” that will be played on highlight reels forever. The Giants came unbelievably close to not even making the playoffs this year, but the fans who claimed that watching their team was “torture” are now the happiest fans in baseball.
World Champions

WBC champion Japan to Australia to the Republic of South Africa – will vie to be crowned true World Champions of the game of baseball. (One could argue that the World Series is something of a misnomer.) With baseball not scheduled as one of the events at the 2012 Olympics in London, the WBC is an opportunity for players to represent their countries on the big stage.
