When the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals take the field at Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday night, the greatest spectacle in sports will commence: Game 7.



Due to the long, grinding nature of a 162-game season and series perspective on all postseason battles, it's rare to classify any baseball game as a do-or-die event. Tonight, however, represents exactly that for the 2014 season.

It all comes down to this and all hands are on deck—including Giants starter Madison Bumgarner potentially pitching on two days' rest.

As you get set to watch history unfold, it's natural to think about the best Game 7's in World Series history. Our Yankees beat writer, Brendan Kuty, did just that earlier today and ranked his favorites. I've added in an honorable mention and some video below.

Check out the photos, take a trip down memory lane with the highlights and vote in our poll.
