There was the historic 18-inning Game 3, though I'd challenge anyone who actually thinks this was an exciting game.

Other than Red Sox fans, most people probably forget that several games in this series were exciting (check Games 1 and 2 box scores for surface-level stuff, including a big pinch-hit, Eduardo Nunez three-run homer). This was overall a dud for non-Giants fans. The weather and atmosphere in Comerica Park for Games 3 and 4 (who could blame Tigers fans with the bad weather and terrible Tigers play after coming home down 0-2?) were miserable. Marco Scutaro singled home the series-winning run in the top of the 10th in Game 4 and that sounds pretty great, but what was the worst-case scenario for the Giants? They were up 3-0 in the series. We have to point out the amazing Giants starting pitching ( Madison Bumgarner threw seven scoreless innings in Game 2 and that pretty much sealed the series) and Tim Lincecum as a lockdown reliever was also fun. It happened in Game 1 when the underdog Giants jumped all over Justin Verlander and the heavily favored Tigers. Pablo Sandoval joined Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson and Albert Pujols as the only players in history to hit three homers in a World Series game. There will be disagreement on these matters and that's fine.

Ranking criteria: Number of games (nothing beats a Game 7 due to it being the only game in our sport where either team can become the champion), overall series excitement, history, atmosphere and anything else that felt like it moved the needle. What follows are my subjective rankings on the 2011-20 World Series. I got to witness all but 2020 in person and obviously watched every single pitch. Five of them went the distance while seven went at least six games and we only saw one sweep. We saw zero rematches in the 10 year set.īest of all, the actual World Series themselves were outstanding. The Giants and Red Sox did win multiple titles while we also saw the Royals, Astros, Dodgers and Cardinals win multiple pennants, but there was still good variety in the matchups. Who would've thought when I started in February of 2011 that the next 10 World Series would see the Royals, Cubs, Astros and Nationals win World Series while the Yankees would be shut out? There were zero repeat champions (that is, the same team going back-to-back). It's been a decade's worth of outstanding World Series.

And we couldn't do it without support.The conclusion of the 2020 World Series meant the conclusion of the 10th full season of mine with CBS Sports and what an incredibly fun ride its been. It's all part of the effort to keep people connected and informed. I've got an entire team of dedicated people who work night and day to make sure I go out every morning, whether in print, as an e-edition, via an app or with additional information at News, weather, sports - videos, photos, podcasts and social media - all covering stories from central Minnesota about your neighbors, your lakes, your communities, your challenges and your opportunities.

I've gone through a lot of changes over the years, but what has never changed is my commitment to community and to local journalism. I started working a few days before Christmas in 1881 and became a daily paper two years later. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of 'staff.' Often, the 'staff' byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting.
