The 2010 World Series has two teams that are both in the Western Division from their Leagues. The San Francisco Giants haven't been in the World Series since 2002, when they lost to the Anaheim Angels. They lost in 7 games after being up 3-2 games in the series. This is the first time ever the Texas Rangers have won the American League Pennant. Both teams will be sending their respected aces to the mound for game 1. The game features Cy Young winners Cliff Lee and Tim Lincecum. Both won the prestigious pitching award in 2008 and Lincecum repeating the award in 2009. Cliff Lee in his postseason career is 7-0 with a 1.26 ERA in 8 starts. Texas catcher Bengie Molina is in a strange position. Only being with the ball club since July, Molina started the year with the Giants. Either way he will be getting a champioship ring, either if Texas wins or San Francisco wins. He'll be the first catcher in World Series history to play against a team he played for earlier in the year.
