Against the odds

When the Tigers swept the New York Yankees to claim the American League Championship Series, few in baseball, or even Vegas, thought that either NLCS winner could be capable of besting Detroit in a World Series matchup. In fact, when the Giants fell behind 3-1 to the Cards in the NLCS, the odds were outrageously against them to even make it of AT&T Park with a National League pennant let alone a World Series win. Yet, after blazing onto win the final four NLCS games and grab pennant #22, detractors still raised up the Tigers as the better team. While everything on paper suggested Detroit should and would win the series, that was not to be, and you can show proof of this greatness in the San Francisco Giants Locker Room T-Shirt you wear today.

Momentum and magic take on the Motor City Kitties

The 2012 Detroit Tigers were built for the playoffs in a team anchored by three superstars in Justin Verlander, Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera. This was a club that didn’t need to be explosive ALL season, just make it down the stretch and sneak into the playoffs; that’s when their power would really turn on. With the pitching of the league’s reigning MVP in Verlander and the first MLB Triple Crown winner in 45 years in Cabrera, the Tigers look poised to smash the Giants and grab their first World Series title in 77 years. Yet, there’s something to be said about Mojo. Momentum. Magic. The Giants had all of these going into Game 1 of the 2012 World Series, and on that night, they had one thing more—Pablo. Show the world you were there that first night and all season long with a San Francisco Giants Championship T-Shirt.

Pablo Sandoval, game one and a wake-up call

If Tiger Nation thought Detroit would sweep through San Francisco like they did through New York, then Game 1 was a major wake-up call. Verlander, a pitcher who allowed only two runs in 24 1/3 postseason innings allowed five in the first four, including two to Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval. The “Kung Fu Panda” picked the perfect night to become only the fourth player in Major League Baseball history to hit three home runs in a World Series game, and the first to do so in his first three plate appearances. Behind Sandoval’s magic bat, the G-Men would go on to win the first game 8-3 and let the Tigers and the rest of the world know that the Giants were for real.

Keeping the dream alive

When the 2012 World Series began, the San Francisco Giants were only the 12th team in major league history to come back from a 3-1 series deficit and win a best of seven playoff series. Yet, Vegas and the baseball pundits still labeled them underdogs going into the Series. The fact that the San Francisco Giants not only won, but did so in spectacular fashion is a testament to the players, manager Bruce Bochy and the city that stood behind them the entire way. This second championship in three years was a tribute to the City by the Bay—a city that never stopped believing in mojo, momentum or magic.
