San Francisco Giants: 1935 World Series Champions (2nd title)
1916 1935

COLIN COWHERD
“This is why we watch sports. This is why we suffer through sports.
Cleveland did everything right for eight innings. Controlled the game. Up 6-3. Crowd rocking. Momentum? Completely theirs. And then — bang — seven runs in the ninth, season over, trophy gone, history flipped upside down.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: dynasties are built on moments like this, and curses are born the same way. The Giants didn’t just win a World Series — they took Cleveland’s soul tonight. On the road. In Game 7. Against a team that thought it was safe.
San Francisco waited nineteen years for this. Nineteen. And they didn’t win it politely. They ripped it out of the ground in front of 36,000 stunned people.
For Cleveland? Four straight World Series appearances. Four straight losses. That’s not bad luck anymore. That’s a pattern. And patterns change franchises.”

MIKE FRANCESA
(Low, deliberate, heavy)
“This is one of those games that’s going to sit with Cleveland for a very long time.
You’re up 6-3. You’re at home. You’ve won every home game in the series. And you still lose the World Series. That doesn’t happen often — but when it does, it defines eras.
Give San Francisco credit. They didn’t panic. They grinded. They waited. And when Cleveland finally cracked — just a little — it turned into an avalanche.
Perdomo was enormous. Valenzuela delivered again. But the real story? Cleveland couldn’t finish the job. They needed a run or two in the last three innings. They couldn’t get them.
Now the numbers are brutal: four World Series losses in their last four appearances. That’s not narrative — that’s fact.
And fair or not, this franchise will wear it.”

CHRIS RUSSO
(Rapid-fire, emotional, half-shouting)
“I DON’T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW. I mean — I’m WATCHIN’ it, but I don’t BELIEVE IT!
Seven runs! SEVEN! In the ninth inning of a GAME SEVEN — ON THE ROAD?! Are you kiddin’ me?!
This is one of the great choke jobs in World Series history. I don’t care who that offends. You cannot let that happen. You just can’t. Up 6-3 at home in the late innings and you let it get away!
And from the Giants’ perspective — oh my GOD. Nineteen years of waiting, and you win it like that? That’s legend stuff! That’s the kind of title people talk about a hundred years later.
For Cleveland fans? This is torture. Absolute torture. You’re not just losing — you’re losing in new, creative, emotionally destructive ways!”

HARRY DOYLE (CLEVELAND RADIO)
(Quiet at first… then steady, wounded professionalism)
“Well… I don’t quite know how to say this, folks.
The Cleveland Indians were up 6-3, only a few outs away from a 4th title.
And now… the San Francisco Giants are celebrating on our field.
Seven runs in the ninth inning — the kind you don’t forget. The kind you wish you could. Edgar Perdomo with the big blows. The crowd here at Jacobs Field… silent. Just stunned.
I’ve seen a lot of baseball. I’ve never seen one turn this fast.
The Giants have their second World Series title. Cleveland will have a long winter ahead.
For those of you listening at home… I’m sorry. I truly am.
Final score from Jacobs Field:
San Francisco 13… Cleveland 6.
Good night, everybody.”
