I don't pretend to be a big Major League Baseball fan but I always drop in the Post Season especially the World Series. This year I was privileged to witness a banner page of baseball history written by the Ruthesque accomplishments of San Francisco pitcher, Madison Bumgarner. This arguably could rank with outstanding championship series individual performances by the likes of Joe Montana, Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky.

2010
On October 31, 2010 Bumgarner pitched eight shutout innings in Game 4 of the 2010 World Series, becoming the fourth-youngest pitcher to start and win a World Series game, as well as the youngest to make a scoreless start of six innings or more
2012
Bmgarner pitched seven scoreless innings and struck out eight in Game 2 of the 2012 World Series on October 25. Bumgarner became the first pitcher to begin his World Series career with 15 scoreless innings since Bruce Hurst did so in 1986.
2014
On October 11, in Game 1 of the NLCS, by tossing 7 2/3 shutout innings against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium, Bumgarner set a new, all-time MLB pitching record for postseason consecutive scoreless innings on the road, with 26 2/3. In doing so he broke the 90-year-old record held by fellow Giant, Art Nehf. For his performance, he was named NLCS MVP.[42]
On October 26, in Game 5, Bumgarner threw a 4-hit complete game shutout. He set all-time MLB records for lowest World Series ERA (0.29) among pitchers of at least 25 innings pitched, and was the first pitcher in Series history to pitch a shutout with no walks and at least eight strikeouts.[44]
On October 29, in Game 7, with two days rest, Bumgarner pitched five scoreless innings in relief to win the final game of the 2014 World Series. He was named the 2014 World Series MVP. By winning Game 7, Bumgarner became the first pitcher since Lew Burdette in 1957 to win three games in a World Series.
His ERA in the 2014 World Series was .43, and he brought his career World Series era to .26 – lower than any other pitcher with at least three starts
.
No one with at least 25 innings has had a lower ERA in the 110 years of the World Series.
