Finally pressed in the World Series, the San Francisco Giants finished off a most unexpected and stunning sweep.

Marco Scutaro delivered one more key hit this October, hitting a go-ahead single with two outs in the 10th inning that lifted the Giants over the Detroit Tigers 4-3 in Game 4 on Sunday night.

Nearly eliminated over and over earlier in the playoffs, the Giants sealed their second title in three seasons when Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera looked at strike three right down the middle for the final out.

On a night of biting cold, stiff breezes and some rain, the Giants combined the most important elements of championship baseball -- great pitching, timely hitting and sharp defense.

12. I was rooting for the Tigers but the Giants played

as close to flawless baseball as any team I have seen in a long, long while. The Giants earned it and I tip my hat to them. They were nothing short of brilliant in the post-season.
