Affeldt played 14 years in the majors with the Kansas City Royals (2002-2006), Colorado Rockies (2006-2007), Cincinnati Reds (2008) and San Francisco Giants (2009-2015). In San Francisco, he was a key member of the pitching staff and played on the 2010, 2012 and 2014 World Series championship teams. During Game 7 of the 2014 World Series, Affeldt pitched 2 1/3 of scoreless innings and earned a win to capture the Giants’ third championship in five years. Through three postseasons with the Giants, Affeldt logged 22 consecutive scoreless innings; the only pitcher with a longer streak is future Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera. Affeldt retired after the 2015 season.
