The San Francisco Giants' Pablo Sandoval, The Kung Fu Panda himself, made a little history Wednesday in the first World Series game this year by hitting three homers in powering the Giants to an 8-3 win over the Detroit Tigers.
And Barry Zito outdueled the Detroit ace, Justin Verlander, the best pitcher in baseball during the regular season this year.
Sandoval's three-homer night ties the record for most homers in a World Series game, with Albert Pujols, Reggie Jackson and... Babe Ruth. Not bad. And like The Babe, The Panda is the kind of guy who never saw a buffet line he didn't like.
So it was also a victory for fat guys.
