San Francisco Giants starting pitching Tim Hudson has played professional baseball for sixteen seasons yet despite being on some rather impressive teams, the Georgia native never made the World Series.

That changed this year when he started Game 3 against the Kansas City Royals.

Now in the most storybook of settings, Tim Hudson’s chance to win a World Series championship rests on his shoulders as he takes the mound in the winner-take-all contest for San Francisco. Understandably he couldn’t be more thrilled.

“When you’re a little kid in the backyard, you always think of World Series games and hitting home runs to win a Game 7 of the World Series or pitching in a big game,” Hudson said. “I’m no different than anybody else.”

Hudson seems aware that he’s worked his entire career to finally be in this position.

“Sixteen years in the big leagues, I finally have that chance,” Hudson said. “I mean, I’m really, really excited about it. I can’t wait. I can’t wait to get out there tomorrow and have some fun.”

Many on the San Francisco Giants roster have continually talked about wanting to win for ‘Huddy’ and now it’s his turn to return the favor. However it won’t be easy as the Kansas City Royals, void of a championship for nearly 30 years have recent history on their side as 8 out of the past 10 teams to fall behind 3-2 in a series returned home to win the Fall Classic.

Now each team is 27 outs away from baseball immortality.

Who’s going to step up when the lights get their brightest? Will Tim Hudson throw the game of his life for the San Francisco Giants? Or will the Kansas City Royals spoil his potential swan song?
