World Series history was made on Wednesday night in Missouri when pitcher Madison Bumgarner delivered a performance for the ages to help the San Francisco Giants overcome the Kansas City Royals in a memorable winner-takes-all Game Seven.

The 2012 World Series concluded with an 89-mph fastball over the middle of the plate, the sort of pitch that ends up over outfield fences as often as it does in catcher’s mitts.

EDGAR RENTERIA paid tribute to the San Francisco Giants for keeping faith with him after his home run led the franchise to their first World Series title in over half a century on Monday night.
