The San Francisco Giants have been crowned a dynasty (despite missing the playoffs twice in the past four years), but perhaps the most memorable storyline from Wednesday’s nail-biting World Series win was the hilariously awkward trophy presentation moment between Madison Bumgarner and a guy from Chevy. Minor Leaguers had their predictable congratulatory tweets for the Giants, but a bunch stuck around long enough to hear about the Chevy Colorado’s “technology and stuff.”

Minor Leaguers were excited about LeBron James’ return to Cleveland this week. And rightfully so, since LeBron himself declared his return to the city that absolutely hates loves him as “probably one of the biggest sporting events ever.”
Right. Greatest day in sports history, a mostly meaningless regular-season game in Ohio against the hapless Knicks.

Dodgers stud Joc Pederson has lost his mind, not over Lebron, but fantasy football and its painfully thin, unpredictable talent pool:

Eric Cordier spent the large majority of 2014 with Triple-A Fresno before appearing in six games for the Giants. On Wednesday, all the hard work paid off:

Gary Brown also spent most of the year at Fresno, but he was focused on something else in the moments following San Fran’s win:
