This One Feels Right: Giants Outfielder Hunter Pence Celebrates Being a World Champion

I hate writing about this, but it's Hunter Pence and he deserves to be recognized for this achievement – even if he didn't contribute that much until the actual World Series.

Vin Scully: “For Hunter Pence, the Baseball World is a Difficult Place to Play” #SFGiants #Dodgers

A routine fly ball to right?  Difficult for Giants outfielder Hunter Pence.  He totally misplays this ball against the Dodgers and tries to backhand the ball at the last second.  Instead the ball bounces off the ground and out of the park for a ground rule double. In response to the play, legendary Dodgers broadcaster […]

Tired of Changing It Annually, Hunter Pence Gets a New, Permanent Twitter Handle

Newest San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence is a Twitter mainstay.   But his Twitter handle has been anything but.  We first knew Pence as @hunterpence9 during his days with Houston.  Then, in Philadelphia, he was @hunterpence3.  But alas, he got a new team and a new number, 8.

The Phillies may have traded two-thirds of their outfield yesterday after a dismal first-half of the season, resulting in a fire sale in the Phillie's front office, but they came right out of the gates last night and pounced on Stephen Strasburg to take game one of this three game set. After an 8-0 victory […]
