I just watched the replay of game 5,2014 NLCS. Michael Morse hit a tying run in the 8th. Giants were leading the series 3 games to 1,and in front of a home crowd,top of the 9th,Redbirds threaten the closer Casilla with a bases loaded situation,2 outs.
Jeremy Affeldt comes in on short rest to get the final out.
Bottom of the 9th. Fat Panda hits a single off Wacha. Hunter Pence flies out . Brandon belt draws a walk.
Up comes Travis Ishikawa,a Federal Way Washington Native who floundered in mediocrity with a career .250 batting average and 25 home runs,does the unthinkable and nails a line drive walk off home run to right field,to send the Giants to the 2014 world series against a scrappy KC Royals team.
Bumgarner won 2 games that series,and one save ,with a .43 ERA. He holds numerous records,including:

Mad fkn Bum. Everyone wants to suck off Verlander (who the Giants embarrassed in 2012 as they swept the Tigers' and their co called best offensive line up in baseball) and Kershaw,who couldn't win a game that counts if his life depended on it. Bumgarner. He plays for Arizona now,but nobody will care about that when he gets inducted into the hall of fame as a GIANT.
sorry
