For those who missed it, the San Francisco Giants won the World Series on Wednesday night, ending a devastating two-year drought. They defeated the Kansas City Royals in a nail-biting seven games, largely on the back of Joe Buck‘s man-crush, pitching star and series MVP Madison Bumgarner. The trophy came down to the final moments of the game, when a booted single almost became an inside-the-park home run for the Royals in the bottom of the ninth.

Suffice it to say, Game 7 was some seriously good sportsball.

If this is how Madison Bumgarner looks and speaks when he’s happy, then we don’t want to imagine him mad or upset.

And then when it was time to exit the podium, the 25-year-old politely asked Erin Andrews where he should put his shiny new award. “Oh, you can take that, that’s yours now,” she joked to him as he solemnly walked off-camera.

NOT AWKWARD: Jeremy Affeldt Tears Up in Post-Game Interview

This moment was decidedly NOT awkward, but rather a reminder for many Americans why we love this sport so much. San Francisco veteran pitcher Jeremy Affeldt is now a three-time world champion, and he’s so happy to give those three rings to his three sons that it makes him cry on national television.
