            In a strange way, the San Francisco Giants shocked the world on Wednesday night.
            They took Game 1 of the World Series, and proved a lot of critics, analysts and experts wrong in the process.

            Non-existent.
            However, Pablo Sandoval was very much existent -- approaching Babe Ruth status with three home runs, two of which were off probable Cy Young winner Verlander.
