With the Orlando Magic and Pittsburgh Penguins losing the first two games of their respective league championship series, SI.com highlights teams that rebounded from an 0-2 deficit to win a title, starting with the 1921 New York Giants. This was the franchise's first championship appearance as well as the World Series debut of the game's signature star. With a record 59 home runs during the 1921 regular season, Babe Ruth had established himself as baseball's Sultan of Swat. Ruth and Co. jumped all over the Giants in the best-of-nine series, winning the first two games without giving up a run. But John McGraw's (right) team won the next two, and with Ruth hobbled with a knee and arm injury, the Giants took games 6, 7 and 8 to win the series, five games to three.
