MLB Ticket Broker > World Series Tickets

The San Francisco have finally won the World Series, the franchise's first series win since 1954. They won it with a team supposedly lacking hitting. The Giants scored 29 runs in five games (5.8 runs per game), outscoring the loaded batting Rangers lineup by 19 runs. This was simply an incredible turn of events. Now the Giants are hoping they can be back with World Series tickets for the 2011 series.

Offensively, shortstop Edgar Renteria led the team. During the regular season he hit .276 with 2 homeruns, and 22 RBI. In the World Series, he turned it on, batting .412 with two homeruns and 6 RBI in five games. These incredible stats earned him the World Series MVP. This has to be a career redeeming moment for the 35-year old veteran. This was team of unlikely heroes all around. Journeyman 32-year-old center fielder Andres Torres hit .318 and rookie catcher Buster Posey hit .300 batting third.

This would not matter if the pitching did not excel. They held the Rangers to a .190 batting average and just 2 runs a game. Closer Brian Wilson and relievers Guillermo Mota, Santiago Casilla, Javier Lopez, and Sergio Romo did not give up an earned run. Starters Madison Bumgarner and Matt Cain held Texas scoreless as well. Oddly, Tim Lincecum, arguably the only star on the team, struggled the most this World Series, starting two games and giving up half of the earned runs in the five games. The MLB can only hope for as inspirational a story at the 2011 World Series.
