The San Francisco Giants have just won the 2010 World Series, 4 games to 1. Tim Lincecum was virtually unhittable, and Edgard Renteria joined Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Berra as the only four players in MLB history to have the game-winning RBI in two different final games of World Series (Renteria did it with the Marlins in 1997).

Q: What happened in baseball on the 25 June 2010 for the first time since the 10th October 1984?

They say that good pitching will always beat good hitting. The Giants certainly proved that during the World Series(throughout the playoffs, actually).

At least we won't have to see BeachBall head on television anymore(at least until his trial starts).

I am too lazy to Google it. What happened?

As a Toronto fan I thought you would have seen/heard the answer during the season.

The dates refer to:

Game 1 of a three game interleague series this season between the Phillies and the Blue Jays at Citizens Bank Park; and

Game 2 of the 1984 World Series between the Tigers and the Padres at Jack Murphy Stadium, San Diego.

My question has nothing to do with the 1993 World Series - when Game 1 of the series was played in the SkyDome.


I was refering to 25th June 2010 - this season - the first game of the regular season three-game Phillies-Blue Jays series in Citizens Bank Park (25th-27th June 2010).


Question:

What happened in baseball on the 25th June 2010 (Phillies-Blue Jays @Citizens Bank Park) for the first time since the 10th October 1984 (Tigers-Padres @Jack Murphy Stadium)?

It's been a bit of a pitchers' season:

- Two perfect games (Dallas Braden, Roy Halladay)
- Armando Galarraga's near-perfect game
- Three no-hitters (Ubaldo Jimenez, Edwin Jackson, Matt Garza)
- Roy Halladay's postseason no-hitter
- The lowest league batting average (.257) since 1999

So I suppose it's only reasonable to see, arguably the best pitching teams in the MLB, win the World Series.

And after playing only 72 games this regular season, who would've guessed that Edgar Reneria would come good in the Series?
