Former President George W. Bush threw out the first pitch with his father by his side, the former President George H.W. Bush.
It's beginning to look like a Giants series. It's hard to come back and win the World Series when a team is down 3 games to 1, but it has been done...six times, as a matter of fact. The last team to do it was the Kansas City Royals in 1985 against St. Louis. I have posted a list of the teams that came back from the dead below.
Needless to say, I won't be cheering a San Francisco championship until the last out of the last game. Nevertheless....GO GIANTS!!
Teams That Won the World Series After Being Down 3 games to 1 in the World Series:
1. 1903 Boston Americans (Red Sox), down 1-3, won World Series 5-3 over Pittsburgh (best of nine format).
2. 1925 Pittsburgh Pirates, down 1-3, won World Series 4-3 over Washington.
3. 1958 New York Yankees, down 1-3, won World Series 4-3 over Milwaukee.
4. 1968 Detroit Tigers, down 1-3, won World Series 4-3 over St. Louis.
5. 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates, down 1-3, won World Series 4-3 over Baltimore.
6. 1985 Kansas City Royals, down 1-3, won World Series 4-3 over St. Louis.
