30 Teams in 30 Days continues with the 2010 World Series Champions, the San Francisco Giants. It was on the last game of the season that the Giants clenched the NL West over the Padres. But really, what does it take to win a World Series? A world renowned pitching staff? An amazing offense? Great management? None of the above. It takes one man to win a World Series, and his name is Pat Burrell. How many World Series rings does he have? Two. How many rings does All-Star first baseman Albert Pujols have? One. So who is the better player? Pat Burrell. But regardless of how much I love in Pat Burrell, the Giants did win the World Series in 2010 over the Texas Rangers. It was the Rangers first time in franchise history to the World Series, and it was the Giants first win as the Giants on the West Coast. With a team including: Aubrey Huff, Juan Uribe, Pablo Sandoval, Cody Ross, and Rookie of the Year Buster Posey. Posey started in May and just kept the ball rolling ever since. With almost the same team, the Giants look to repeat what they did in 2010. But that will be difficult after several already good teams "beefed" up their teams which will hurt the Giants in the long run. The Giants kept almost their entire pitching staff by retaining Jonathan Sanchez, Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum, and closer Brian Wilson. As long as Wilson retains his beard, the Giants will be fine, and I really liked his shoes from the All-Star game. I wish the Giants luck in the 2011 season, and more importantly, I wish Pat Burrell good luck in the 2011 season.
