Venezuela looking forward to Detroit Tigers vs San Francisco Giants World Series – MLB Update
The entire Venezuela will be waiting to see their heroes in the World Series between the Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants.
Tigers dominated the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series to secure their World Series birth. Giants, on the other hand, had a very rough ride. Trailing 1-3 in the series, they looked down and out.
However, Giants staged an emphatic come back, beating the St. Louis Cardinals in three consecutive games to win the National League Championship Series.
Giants have five Venezuelans in their team including third baseman Pablo Sandoval and left fielder Gregor Blanco. Both Sandoval and Blanco have given some impressive performances since the start of the season.
"All of Venezuela is waiting for that," Giants’ left fielder Gregor Blanco said in an interview with a top sports website. "It would be exciting if we both get to the World Series. The question I'd have is, who are they going to pick? Hopefully they'd pick
the Giants."
"Both are big stars back in Venezuela," Blanco told reporters while answering a question. "Everybody over there would see through them how the Series would be, and hopefully Pablo keeps swinging like he's swinging and we go to the World Series."
Sandoval, in particular, has the ability to raise his level under pressure and the Tigers will be aware of that. His counterpart from the Tigers, Miguel Cabrera had one of the finest seasons of his career this year. Hitting home-runs at will, Cabrera became
only the second Tigers to win the Triple Crown Award.
The Tigers, who won the American League pennant, have four Venezuelans in their team. However, none of them will be as influential as Miguel Cabrera. The favourites from both teams will be at the same position; third base.
In an interview with a leading sports website, Sandoval stated that he and Cabrera share a friendly relationship and he will be looking to a duel with Cabrera and the Tigers. It will be interesting to see which one of the two hitters succeed in the World
Series.
