The 2016 Major League Baseball postseason is arguably the most poetic that this or any generation has seen since 1903 when the first World Series was played.

After a rough second half of the season following the All-Star break, the chances of the Giants even making it to the playoffs were slim, but their hopes were kept alive in large part due to the wild card.
