The San Francisco Giants have angered the Baseball Gods. By winning three World Series in five years, the Giants defied the Baseball Gods, despite the overlord’s best attempts to keep destiny on the right path.
In 2010, the Giants were 6.5 games behind the San Diego Padres in the division in late August, but they would complete a comeback very quickly to win the division, ride that wave of momentum through the postseason, and take home their first World Series championship in the San Francisco era.
In 2012, the Giants faced seven win-or-go-home games between the NLDS and NLCS.
