The San Francisco Giants won the biggest title in baseball again Wednesday night, snagging their third World Series championship in three years.
The Giants won a tight game seven in Kansas City against the Royals by a score of three to two.
It was the first playoff appearance for the Royals since they won the World Series 29 years ago in 1985.
The Royals left the tying run on third base as the game ended on a pop fly.
Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner was the series MVP, pitching five shutout innings in the final game.
