@DC408Dxtr/@DC408DxNow
Welcome everyone to this Special Edition of DC SocialPulse powered by DCNOW, and to our 100th post of this year on this site in what has been a landmark 2014. Normally, the 'Pulse brings you the play-by-play of MTV shows and big events as seen by the twitter world. But as we are in the last two weeks of what's been an eventful year for sports fans, DCBLOG is proud to bring you this special diary documenting something's that near to me as a devoted Bay Area sports fanatic as, for the very first time, we present a twitter diary of a sporting event. And what better way to kick off the Sports SocialPulse than with the latest milestone in Bay Area sports history.
It seems in the past several years, sports fans here in Northern California have been living the good life. There's been a resurgence in one of sports' greatest franchises as Jim Harbaugh taking over the head coaching position of the Niners have seen the team make it to three straight NFC title games, a Super Bowl appearance and hope for the 49ers Faithful. The Warriors have once again become a force in the NBA thanks to Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and arguably the NBA's most-rabid fan base who've seen a record start for the team. Fans of the Oakland A's have also been enjoying their run as consistent contenders in the AL West against all odds perhaps best portrayed by the money Moneyball. And there's also the Raiders, Sharks, Cal, Stanford and more.
But one team has stood above all others not just in Bay Area sports, but also in all of Major League Baseball. And what happened the night of Wednesday, October 29 helped bring back a word that was last used two decades ago in Bay Area sports lore by a team it once shared the same stadium with: "dynasty." In 2010 by way of their 5-game triumph over the Texas Rangers, the San Francisco Giants won their first World Series title in the Bay Area and their fifth overall, first since their 1954 surprise sweep of the Cleveland Indians as the New York Giants. In 2012, they dominated the heavily-favored Detroit Tigers in a stunning 4-game sweep, led by Pablo Sandoval's heroics. And in 2014, the Giants became the first team since the Yankees to win 3 World Series titles in a 5-year span.
This special edition of DC SocialPulse will look back at Game 7 of the 2014 World Series, where the Giants and the team of destiny, the Kansas City Royals, faced off in the 36th Game 7 in the 111-year history of the Fall Classic. This will include real-time tweets from the @MLB and @SFGiants accounts, media & more and of course myself, covering the events as they unfolded. From the build-up and the early part of the game, to Madison Baumgartner being put in to protect the Giants' lead in the 5th inning on only a few days rest in an MVP performance, to of course the celebration that took place in both America's heartland and in the Bay Area.
And after twitter's view of Game 7, the celebrations and the parade that followed, I'll offer some perspective on the team, its glorious history, their run to the trifecta and what it means to fans. This five-year have made all of us here in the Bay Area feel like kids all over again.
Join DCBLOG after the jump and relive the game that turned a team into sports' newest dynasty.
Editors Note: As we begin this special edition of DCSP, because of my work schedule I came home a half-hour after the 8:00 PM ET first pitch. So, my tweets at @DC408DxNow, which are italicized, will begin at around 8:30 PM ET/5:30 PM PT, early in Game 7.

@SFGiantsFans: That's now 23 1/3 consecutive scoreless postseason innings for Jeremy Affeldt, dating back to 2010 WS. #SFGiants
@MLBFanCave: MadBum has been ridiculous this October: http://atmlb.com/1DzkQqO #WorldSeries
@JustinVerlander: It's been pretty hard for me to watch any of the postseason after being eliminated. But #WorldSeries game 7 I have to watch. #lovethegame

@MLBFanCave: WHAT A GAME. WHAT A SERIES. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A #GAME7.
@MLBStatoftheDay: With his appearance tonight, Madison Bumgarner has now thrown the most innings (48.2) in a single #postseason in @MLB history.
@MLB: Madison Bumgarner entered #Game7 with these career #WorldSeries numbers. That ERA … unreal. #AceStatus
@MLBFanCave: MadBum with the @MLB record. #Game7
@ESPNStatsInfo: Pablo Sandoval's 25 hits this postseason tie the MLB single-postseason record: Marquis Grissom, Darin Erstad, David Freese
@MLBStatoftheDay: The @SFGiants are 7-1 this #postseason when scoring first. They went 65-18 during the regular season when doing so.
@SFGiantsFans: Bumgarner has a 1-2-3 6th inning. #SFGiants
@RattoCSN: 173 pitches left in Bumgarner’s night.
@CSNBaggs: That's 27 pitches for Bumgarner, or roughly half his allotment. As if that means anything.
@laskey19: MVP Madison 9 more outs!!! #sfgiants add on'...
@CSNBaggs: Captain Obvious tweet of the night: As long as Bumgarner's stuff/delivery look OK, Giants have to let him go.
@MLBFanCave: MadBum is a beast. #Game7
@MLB_PR: This is the 1st #WorldSeries #Game7 to be a one-run game through 6 innings since 2001.
@MLBFanCave: Absurd. #Game7 (text: Wade Davis - 0 HR Allowed as Reliever With Royals - 360 Batters Faced)
@SFGiantsFans: Between Game 5 & tonight, Bumgarner has combined for 144 pitches. Lincecum had 148 pitches in his 2013 No-Hitter. #SFGiants
@RattoCSN: Just a thought: Whoever comes out of Giants bullpen to replace Bumgarner may just be chased back into it by him
@MLBFanCave: Another look at Joe Panik's impressive flip. #Game7
@SFGateSports: We're at the Stretch. #Game7 #SFGiants
@MLBStatoftheDay: .@hunterpence has now reached base safely in 20 straight #postseason games; dating back to Game 2 of the 2012 #WorldSeries.
@peterhartlaub: Have to think songs with the words "God bless" and "prairie" are like audio steroids to Bumgarner. Predicting a two-pitch inning.
@MLBStatoftheDay: .@JeremyAffeldt has now recorded a scoreless outing in 22 consecutive #postseason games, the 2nd longest #postseason streak in @MLB history.
@MLBFanCave: .@KFP48 is having himself a night. #Game7
@RattoCSN: Giants bullpen remains still. Funny how short Bumgarner’s leash isn’t.
@MLBFanCave: The K from above. #Game7
@SFGiantsFans: PENCE makes the catch for the first out in the bottom of the 7th. #SFGiants leading 3-2.
@Buccigross: Next 5 years they will earn... Kershaw: $160 million, Verlander: $140 million, Bumgarner: $52 million
@stewardsfolly: This goes beyond stud. Need new words to describe what Bumgarner is doing. He's just put this team on his back.
@RattoCSN: “Gardy, get Romo up.” “Are you telling Bumgarner, because I’m not going to.” “Come on, get him up.” “Tell Bumgarner first.” “Oh, screw it."
@dc408dxnow: More history: Pablo Sandoval ties MLB record for most hits in a postseason: 25. Panda adds more to that great performance in 2012.

@CSNBaggs: That's 26 hits for Pablo Sandoval this postseason, and that's a major league record.
@RattoCSN: The official scorers are trying to figure out which Giants pitcher would get the win. Bumgarner has been called and will demand both.

@dc408dxnow: Double play Giants in the snap of a finger. In addition to pitching, also will come down to defense as well to determine this champion.
@SFGiants: Lincecum begins to warm up in the pen
@MLB: The @SFGiants have the lead. Five Pandas approve. #Game7
@SFGiants: #MadBum now warming up in the pen #SFGiants
@RattoCSN: For the record, the first of Bumgarner’s 200 pitches tonight will be directed at Omar Infante.
@MLBFanCave: MadBum is warming up. #Game7
@RattoCSN: Oh, and Bumgarner has a clause in his contract concerning holds.

@SFGiants: Great job by Affeldt tonight, 2 1/3 scoreless relief #SFGiants #OctoberTogether
@SFG_Stats: Tonight is the 2nd time Madison Bumgarner has pitched in relief in the postseason (also: NLCS Game 6 in 2010). #SFGiants
@SFGiantsFans: That's now 23 1/3 consecutive scoreless postseason innings for Jeremy Affeldt, dating back to 2010 WS. #SFGiants
@MLBFanCave: MadBum has been ridiculous this October: http://atmlb.com/1DzkQqO #WorldSeries
@JustinVerlander: It's been pretty hard for me to watch any of the postseason after being eliminated. But #WorldSeries game 7 I have to watch. #lovethegame
@SFGiantsFans: PEREZ makes the catch! #SFGiants
@SFGiants: Juan Perez makes the running catch down the line! 2 outs
@kimberlybhudson: We are a TEAM! Let's go @SFGiants!
@SFGiantsFans: RE2PECT. #SFGiants
@AnthonyDiComo: Madison Bumgarner just set the record for most IP in a single postseason. Mercy.
@SFGiants: #MADBUM!
@SFGiantsFans: GOT HIM! #SFGiants
@MLB: #AceStatus
@MLBFanCave: A scoreless inning for Madison Bumgarner. Per usual. #Game7
@LarryBeilABC7: And that's why MadBum is MadBum! Strikes out Cain to end 5th. #SFGants up 3-2 heading to 6th
@dc408dxnow: My gosh, if the Giants close things out and make history, I got no doubt who they'll vote as MVP for all he's done all Series long. #MadBum
@KNBR: Madison Bumgarner with an #MLBPostseason record 48 2/3 innings this postseason. #WorldSeries #Game7 #MadBum
@SFGiantsFans: PANDA gets things started with a single. He's reached base for the 3rd straight time. #SFGiants
@SFGiants: Panda en feugo, a single to lead off the 6th #PandaMode #SFGiants #Game7
@MLBFanCave: 🐼🐼🐼 #Game7
@MLBFanCave: Great performance from @JeremyAffeldt tonight. Huge asset in the @SFGiants' bullpen. #Game7
@SFGiantsFans: Belt rips a base hit! #SFGiants
@MLBFanCave: .@bbelt9 and @hunterpence have been getting it done in the #WorldSeries. #Game7
@SFGiantsFans: Going into the bottom of the 6th, the #SFGiants lead the #Royals 3-2. #WorldSeries
@MLBFanCave: WHAT A GAME. WHAT A SERIES. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A #GAME7.
@MLBStatoftheDay: With his appearance tonight, Madison Bumgarner has now thrown the most innings (48.2) in a single #postseason in @MLB history.
@MLB: Madison Bumgarner entered #Game7 with these career #WorldSeries numbers. That ERA … unreal. #AceStatus
@MLBFanCave: MadBum with the @MLB record. #Game7
@ESPNStatsInfo: Pablo Sandoval's 25 hits this postseason tie the MLB single-postseason record: Marquis Grissom, Darin Erstad, David Freese
@MLBStatoftheDay: The @SFGiants are 7-1 this #postseason when scoring first. They went 65-18 during the regular season when doing so.
@SFGiantsFans: Bumgarner has a 1-2-3 6th inning. #SFGiants
@RattoCSN: 173 pitches left in Bumgarner’s night.
@CSNBaggs: That's 27 pitches for Bumgarner, or roughly half his allotment. As if that means anything.
@laskey19: MVP Madison 9 more outs!!! #sfgiants add on'...
@CSNBaggs: Captain Obvious tweet of the night: As long as Bumgarner's stuff/delivery look OK, Giants have to let him go.
@MLBFanCave: MadBum is a beast. #Game7
@MLB_PR: This is the 1st #WorldSeries #Game7 to be a one-run game through 6 innings since 2001.
@MLBFanCave: Absurd. #Game7 (text: Wade Davis - 0 HR Allowed as Reliever With Royals - 360 Batters Faced)
@SFGiantsFans: Between Game 5 & tonight, Bumgarner has combined for 144 pitches. Lincecum had 148 pitches in his 2013 No-Hitter. #SFGiants
@RattoCSN: Just a thought: Whoever comes out of Giants bullpen to replace Bumgarner may just be chased back into it by him
@MLBFanCave: Another look at Joe Panik's impressive flip. #Game7
@SFGateSports: We're at the Stretch. #Game7 #SFGiants
@MLBStatoftheDay: .@hunterpence has now reached base safely in 20 straight #postseason games; dating back to Game 2 of the 2012 #WorldSeries.
@peterhartlaub: Have to think songs with the words "God bless" and "prairie" are like audio steroids to Bumgarner. Predicting a two-pitch inning.
@MLBStatoftheDay: .@JeremyAffeldt has now recorded a scoreless outing in 22 consecutive #postseason games, the 2nd longest #postseason streak in @MLB history.
@MLBFanCave: .@KFP48 is having himself a night. #Game7
@RattoCSN: Giants bullpen remains still. Funny how short Bumgarner’s leash isn’t.
@MLBFanCave: The K from above. #Game7
@SFGiantsFans: PENCE makes the catch for the first out in the bottom of the 7th. #SFGiants leading 3-2.
@Buccigross: Next 5 years they will earn... Kershaw: $160 million, Verlander: $140 million, Bumgarner: $52 million
@stewardsfolly: This goes beyond stud. Need new words to describe what Bumgarner is doing. He's just put this team on his back.
@RattoCSN: “Gardy, get Romo up.” “Are you telling Bumgarner, because I’m not going to.” “Come on, get him up.” “Tell Bumgarner first.” “Oh, screw it."
@dc408dxnow: More history: Pablo Sandoval ties MLB record for most hits in a postseason: 25. Panda adds more to that great performance in 2012.

@dc408dxnow: Pablo has a double and that's hit #26. Most hits in a single postseason in MLB history. 12-28 all time in WS, including 3 HR GM in 2012.
@CSNBaggs: That's 26 hits for Pablo Sandoval this postseason, and that's a major league record.
@RattoCSN: The official scorers are trying to figure out which Giants pitcher would get the win. Bumgarner has been called and will demand both.
@SFGiantsFans: The #SFGiants bullpen is quiet. Bumgarner is on his way back out. SF leads 3-2.
@MLBFanCave: Happy pandas. #Game7

@MLBFanCave: The legend of Madison Bumgarner grows. #Game7
@dc408dxnow: 4 shutout innings, 12 straight batters retired by #MadBum in relief. If they don't vote him #WorldSeries MVP, they'll demand a recount.
@LarryBeilABC7: Bumgarner has retired 12 in a row, thrown 52 pitches. No pulling him now. On to 9th. #SFGants up 3-2
@aubrey_huff: No way you can take Bum out!!
@awfulannouncing: People - you’re watching one of the legendary performances in the history of baseball. The 135+ year history of baseball. Enjoy it.

@ESPNStatsInfo: The Giants are 3 outs away from their 3rd World Series title in the last 5 seasons
@MStrooo6: So, is Bumgarner the best clutch pitcher ever?
@MLBFanCave: TO THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH WE GO. #GAME7
@dc408dxnow: Got KNBR b'cast up, Duane Kuiper & Dave Fleming have called the last out of the last two titles, Jon Miller may call the 3rd. May come next.
@KNBR: The #SFGiants are 3-outs away. If you aren't already listening, it's time to tune in to #KNBR and hear history made. #WorldSeries #Game7

@SFGiants: Bottom of the 9th.... #SFGiants lead 3-2 This is #Game7

@timkawakami: Did Righetti plan for Bumgarner to go the last 5 innings? "No. We were hoping he bridges the gap to our 3 other relievers that we trust...
@timkawakami: Righetti: "But once it builds, you just go with it." Righetti said key was Bumgarner didn't over-throw as starters sometimes do in relief.

@MLB: Madison Bumgarner’s #WorldSeries career is impeccable. As in, his ERA is the lowest in HISTORY.
@RichAurilia35: Good night @SFGiants fans. Another historic season. Hopefully see you at the parade.
@MLBStatoftheDay: Among pitchers with at least 30 IP in a single #postseason, Bumgarner’s 1.03 ERA ranks only behind Burt Hooton (’81) and John Smoltz (’96).

DC's VIEW: The Giants and The Dynasty
As the San Francisco Giants spend this winter around the hot stove reflecting on their third World Series title in five years, the road to becoming sports' newest dynasty has been a long one.
They may not be the first major sports franchise to settle in the Bay Area - the 49ers entered the All-American Football Conference in 1946 and joined the NFL four years later, but the Giants have always been the one of the Bay Area's 6th major franchises with the deepest tradition. Even with historically mixed fortunes in San Francisco as it was in New York, no other North American sports franchise can lay claim to more wins than the Giants, who were founded in 1883 as the first major league team based in what has remained the capital of baseball. No National League team can lay claim to as many pennants (23) and World Series appearances (20) than the Orange & Black, and they're now in the top 5 in World Series titles, with 8 overall in this dynasty joining the 5 that were won in the Big Apple.

Of course, the team's 1957 announcement of their move from the Polo Grounds to the Bay Area the next season, along with their blood rivals the Dodgers moving from Brooklyn to Los Angeles the same year, was the game-changer for both baseball and American sports. But two times, there was uncertainty of whether the Giants would stay in the City. First, Giants ownership flirted with a move to Toronto until Bob Lurie bought the team in 1976. Then in 1992 when he put them on the ownership block, a St. Petersburg investment group reached an agreement to move them to the Tampa Bay Area and what would become Tropicana Field. But NL owners voted against that acquisition, and with help from across the Bay by A's owner Wally Haas, the owners keys would fall to an investment group led by managing general partner and former Safeway CEO Peter McGowan.
During the time the ink was drying, McGowan would then help to lay the foundation for a team that would ultimately rise to the top of baseball. First, there was the anticipated plans to move out of Candlestick and architect a new ballpark in downtown San Francisco that would ultimately become a landmark both in the Bay Area and in baseball. Then even before naming a new GM, he signed free agent slugger Barry Bonds from the Pirates to join his dad's old team, a move initially blocked by MLB until some terms were negotiated to protect him and Lurie in case the sale fell through.
After their epic 1993 NL West duel with the Braves that fell short on the final day of the season in the last regular season with no Wild Card at stake and three straight losing seasons, Brian Sabean was named general manager. He promptly traded away fan favorite Matt Williams to the Indians and received great criticism from fans only to respond to them, "there is a plan." And as it turned out, it was a smart move, as Jeff Kent, who was included in the deal, and a later trade with the Angels to bring in JT Snow, saw them win the NL West title and became a consistent division contender.
This set the stage for their move to their new privately financed downtown ballpark - the first of its kind since the '60s, where AT&T Park would become the model MLB stadium in the 21st century. Gone were the days of sub-10,000 paid attendance figures in a football stadium; the stadium now routinely sells out the nearly 43,000 seats at 3rd & King. That first season saw the Giants win the NL West again and garner baseball's best record. And though they fell to the Mets in the playoffs, it was the start to a glorious run that saw them head to the World Series two years later. They made the '02 Postseason as the wild card and beat the Braves and then the Cardinals for the pennant, then came within 9 outs of the title until an Angels Game 6 rally and Game 7 win thwarted those dreams.
The 2003 season saw Felipe Alou take over for Dusty Baker and again they won their division and 100 games, but were beat by the wild card Marlins in the Division Series. A lean period would follow for the franchise, but there was something to celebrate too in Barry Bonds hitting his historic 756th homer at home in 2007. It also turned out to be a period of transition to what would become the team of this decade as Bonds was at the sunset of his career, Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito would join the team, part of owner Peter Magowan's plan to load up on youth and offense. And also, Bruce Bochy was brought in from the Padres to replace the retiring Alou as manager.
The '09 season saw Jeremy Affeldt and World Series champs Edgar Renteria and Randy Johnson join the team. There, the Big Unit became the 24th member of the 300-win club, and Jonathan Sanchez tossed the first Giants no-hitter since 1976. And towards the end of the season, they traded for Freddy Sanchez, brought up catcher Buster Posey from their then-AAA affiliate down in Fresno and Pablo Sandoval emerged onto the lineup. The stage was now all but set.
The 2010 season - one where few had great preseason expectations - saw the team's investments pay off in their first NL West title since 2003, coming back in the last half of September after trailing Bochy's old team in the standings for most of the season. It was also where announcer Duane Kuiper coined the phrase "torture" after an early-season loss to those Padres where Sanchez gave up only one hit but still lost, 1-0. The G-Men benefited from San Diego's late-season slump of a 10-game slide to overtake them with an 18-8 September and closed them out on the last day of the regular season, buoyed by an 1.78 ERA, an NL best in September since Sandy Koufax's '65 Dodgers.
In the NLDS against the Braves, Tim Lincecum struck out 14 and gave up 2 hits in Game 1 of what would be a 3-1 series win over Atlanta. Then against a favored Phillies team and their great pitching staff (including Roy Halliday who had pitched a no-hitter in the previous series), a closely contested NLCS would see the Giants beat Philadelphia for the pennant in six games. They were then matched against the Rangers in the World Series, where an anticipated pitchers duel between Lincecum and Rangers ace Cliff Lee turn into an 11-7 Giants Game 1 win, followed by a 9-0 Game 2 triumph. After a Game 3 loss in Arlington, Bumgartner would shut out Texas in Game 4, then Edgar Renteria's 3-run homer in the 7th and Lincecum's pitching gave San Francisco a 3-1 win and the title; and Renteria the MVP to join his '97 WS-winning hit for the Marlins.
The 2011 follow-up didn't turn as well, as injuries to Buster Posey, Freddy Sanchez and Brian Wilson would lead to them missing out on the playoffs. There was also poignancy too as Giants fan paramedic Brian Stow was attacked by two Dodgers fans in the Dodger Stadium parking lot on Opening Day, leading to a life-threatening head injury and being permanently disabled, just after he was insulted and threatened in the stands inside Chavez Revine. But Stow's spirit ultimately inspired the 2012 Giants, as they would use a strong June and second-half to propel them during the season. Plus, there was Matt Cain tossing the Giants' first-ever perfect game on June 13th, and a huge night at the All-Star Game where Melky Cabrera was named MVP, Cain was the starting & winning pitcher and Sandoval hit the ASG's first bases-loaded triple.
At the deadline, the Giants traded for Hunter Pence and Marco Scutaro and despite losing Cabrera to a drug suspension and the Dodgers making big trades, the Giants won the NL West, led by Scutaro's 20-game hit streak and Posey's .336 BA. In the postseason, the Giants came back from 0-2 down to overtake the Reds and become the first MLB team to win a best-of-5 postseason series by winning the last three on the road, thanks to a grand slam in Cincinnati. They then showed their comeback spirit again against the Cardinals in the NLCS, where after going down 3-1 to St. Louis, the Giants came back to win the next 3 games and to advance to the World Series, and Scutaro named MVP. And against Justin Verlander and a favored Tigers team, Pablo Sandoval set the pace for the Series as the Panda hit 3 home runs in his first 3 at-bats in Game 1 at AT&T Park. And the Giants never looked back as they would finish off Detroit in a 4-game sweep for their 2nd title in 3 years and the Panda was named MVP.
Their second title defense saw inconsistent struggles for the team: Buster Posey had a drop-off in performance from his MVP season, losing against teams outside of their division and a losing record. But a late-season surge, Lincecum's first no-hitter and Pence being signed long-term gave the Giants new hope for 2014. And in the offseason, Tim Hudson decided to come home to the Bay Area and Michael Morse was signed up. Their season started with a 42-21 record, but a 9-game lead over the Dodgers being blown and injuries to Angel Pagan, Brandon Belt and Matt Cain saw the Giants limp into the postseason as a wild card with an 88-74 record, their first time making it to October under 90 wins. Plus there was Lincecum's 2nd no-no and an improved win total for the Freak.
And then, there was the postseason run. The Giants routed the Pirates 8-0 in Pittsburgh by way of Baumgartner's complete game shutout and Brandon Crawford's grand slam (a first postseason GS by a shortstop). They then excused the Nationals in the NLDS to overtake Reds' Big Red Machine teams of the '70s with NL's longest postseason winning streak at 9. The Cardinals again awaited them in the NLCS, where in spite of it ending in 5 games, the series was close throughout with no team winning by more than 3 runs. And there, Travis Ishikawa would etch his name into postseason lore by launching a 9th inning shot into the bleachers for the first NL pennant-winning walkoff homer since Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World," the first of its kind in NLCS history and first overall NLCS-winning walkoff hit since Kenny Lofton's RBI single in that park 12 years earlier.
And then, of course, there was obviously the toughest of the three World Series they've been in. Kansas City was the surprise AL pennant winners by way of beating the A's in dramatic comeback fashion in the Wild Card playoff, then swept both the team with the top record in the Angels in the ALDS and the Orioles in the ALCS. One site called it "the worst World Series ever" due to lack of star power and modest records, and routs in five of the six games (only 1-run game, a 3-2 KC win in GM3) might've prove that. But the Royals would ultimately stretch the Giants to the limit, and what happened in Game 7 would ultimately prove again the enduring magic of October baseball. With everything on the line and the lights at its brightest, it took for Bumgartner's amazing performance out of the bullpen for the Giants to win the decider 3-2 (first World Series GM7 win by a road team in 35 years), the Series 4 games to 3, and solidified the Giants as a dynasty. With two wins, a 5-inning GM7 save, a 0.43 ERA, a 0.48 WHIP & a 17:1 K:BB ratio, it was no surprise that Madison Bumgarner was named Series MVP.
The 2003 season saw Felipe Alou take over for Dusty Baker and again they won their division and 100 games, but were beat by the wild card Marlins in the Division Series. A lean period would follow for the franchise, but there was something to celebrate too in Barry Bonds hitting his historic 756th homer at home in 2007.

With two wins, a 5-inning GM7 save, a 0.43 ERA, a 0.48 WHIP & a 17:1 K:BB ratio, it was no surprise that Madison Bumgarner was named Series MVP.
Just as it was ten years ago when the Boston Red Sox reversed the 'Curse and won their first World Series in 86 years (and first of 3 in 9 years), this dynasty has provided the opportunity to recognize the Giants' proud past and finally allow those players a chance to be part of their championship legacy. Take for example the parades and ring ceremonies where they acknowledged those greats alongside the present players. Aside from Willie Mays and The Catch that defined that '54 World Series, great players who have worn the orange & black during the team's San Francisco era and who never tasted that championship feeling are many: Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda, Bobby Bonds, Gaylord Perry, Will Clark, and yes Barry Bonds. Eleven members of the Baseball Hall of Fame come from the Bay Area era of the franchise, all part of a Giants-strong 66 in Cooperstown. That's more than the Dodgers, the Yankees and any other team in baseball.
The Giants have fast becoming a model franchise for both Major League Baseball and all of sports, just as it was when the Niners were during their dynasty years of the '80s and '90s. With its iconic view of the Bay Bridge and spot by the Bay, AT&T Park has become the envy of all others in baseball. The 3,268,697 that passed the turnstiles this past season outclasses all others in total attendance across Bay Area sports. They hold MLB's longest active sellout streak at 327 games--an NL record, along with over 30,000 season ticket holders.. ESPN Magazine put the Giants #1 among all 122 teams across all major sports in in-stadium experience based in venue quality, fan-friendliness of environment and frequency of game-day promotions. TicketCity also placed the Giants at the top in Fan Engagement among baseball fans. And with a best-in-class broadcast team of Kruk, Kuip, Jon and Flem that have each called the final outs of the team's three World Series titles, the Giants rank near the top in TV viewership and radio listenership.
Of all the Bay Area's six teams, more residents identify themselves as Giants than the Niners or any other team in this large region of ours, and whose reach stretches north to Chico, to Reno, to Sacramento and down south to Monterey and Fresno. With its proximity to Silicon Valley, it's no surprise that the Giants' social media presence ranks in the top 5 in Facebook and Twitter followers, tops among Instagram and Google+ followers, and is a regular trending topic. And with AT&T Park being the first pro sports stadium to install WiFi in 2004, it has become one of the world's most checked-in sites on Facebook, all part of a stadium all wired in by the latest technology that has set the pace for sports venues in the digital age.

And for Bay Area sports fans, the Giants' run to the top of baseball has occurred in what has been the best time to be a fan here since the late '80s. Sure, the Giants' 2010 World Series win was the Bay Area's first major title since the last of the Niners' Super Bowl titles in 1994. But this has also solidified the region's stamp on the national sports landscape; after all ESPN Magazine called the Bay Area "the most thrilling place in sports." As much as New England has enjoyed the last decade seeing all their teams win titles, Bay Area sports fans have had it good in the past several years. The Niners have had renewed faith, the Warriors made a huge turnaround to now own the best record in the NBA at 20-3, the A's enjoying great success, the Raiders continuing to have a devoted fan base, and the Sharks remain a Stanley Cup contender. Plus, the America's Cup took place here last year, NASCAR & IndyCar have races up at Sonoma, the PGA TOUR will have three events coming next year in this region and the Cal-Stanford Big Game. And oh, both Super Bowl 50 and WrestleMania will be at Levi's Stadium within a 10-month span starting next spring.
So, it's official: The San Francisco Giants are sports' newest dynasty. All those years in the Bay Area of under-performing and coming oh-so-close are now a thing of the past. With three titles in five years, a core roster of players, a brilliant manager and a great team at the top, the Giants are destined to add more to their collection, and if not for Madison Bumgartner being just named Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year for 2014 would add to all this too. With a strong fan base, strong social involvement and an iconic stadium, their reach is extending to all-time highs and finally bringing in fans from all parts to this place. And for Bay Area sports fans, this has become the best time to be a fan in nearly a quarter-century. Now, we all await 2015 and see if they can make 4 in 6.

But we also cover the broader entertainment and sports worlds too, including DCSP posts covering some of the music awards shows from this past year and my series of Olympic posts I did during the Sochi Winter Games. Because of my MTV focus, I haven't posted other sports & entertainment posts much, though I have written a lot of drafts of them, and I plan to post them as back-tracked versions here.
Bookmark this site for all of the above, plus follow my two twitter accounts, my primary hub @DC408Dxtr and my live twitter hub DCNOW at @DC408DxNow, where my live tweets of sports, shows and events are located and for which the tweets above were brought to you from; and follow my Instagram at @DC408Dxtr.
Again, thank you for reading, congrats to the Giants and Happy Holidays.
