A raucous Kauffman Stadium and history were in the Kansas City corner ahead of the game as the home team had won the last nine World Series that went to a Game Seven, including the 1985 Royals.

But the Giants, who were hammered 10-0 in game six, bounced back the next day to become the first road team to win a World Series game seven on the road since the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates.
