The article reflects on the San Francisco Giants' three World Series championships since relocating to San Francisco, emphasizing the emotional connections fans feel with each victory. The author compels readers to choose their favorite championship, stating that the 2010 win was emotionally profound. However, the 2012 sweep of the Tigers and the unexpected victory in 2014, led by Madison Bumgarner's legendary pitching performances, are also highlighted. The author ultimately discloses their personal favorite as the 2012 series, deferring to emotional ties rather than objective rankings.
A lot of people kind of brush over 2012 because they swept the Detroit Tigers. However, they had their backs against the wall for the rest of the playoffs which made the sweep that much more enjoyable for me.
On paper, there was no way that team should have won the World Series. That rotation was Bumgarner, duct tape and a prayer. And Bumgarner said "Hold the duct tape," before walking out from the bullpen to get the job done in Game 7.
