How the Giants' Even-Year Magic Struck the Cursed Cubs in Game 3

One of the things that makes baseball's postseason so wonderful are the unlikely heroes who emerge.

The San Francisco Giants have won three world titles in the last three even-numbered seasons (perhaps you've heard this), and along the way, they've been led by some surprise performances.

In 2010, it was Cody Ross. In 2012, Marco Scutaro had the game-winning hit in the deciding Game 4 of the World Series. In 2014, Travis Ishikawa hit this walk-off blast to win the National League pennant for the Giants.

And so here we are, in another even-numbered year, and the Giants are once again making magic in the postseason.
