There's not much more that can be said about Madison Bumgarner after what he did in the World Series, but let's all agree that it is in the discussion for greatest pitching performance ever in a Fall Classic — right up there with two performances that involved the Twins.
The first was in 1965, when Sandy Koufax of the Dodgers pitched back-to-back complete game shutouts (the second in Game 7 on just two days of rest) to defeat the Twins in seven games.
The second, of course, was Jack Morris' 10-inning masterpiece in Game 7 of the 1991 series (and a 1.17 ERA in three series starts, too).
