The Giants play host to the Texas Rangers, who finally reached baseball's promised land after 39 years of struggle. San Francisco last played in the Fall Classic in 2002, losing to the Angels.
Game 1 of the World Series is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET Wednesday at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Cliff Lee, who's been terrific this postseason, will start for the Rangers while Tim Lincecum will toe the rubber for the Giants.
