The Wong Way: A Bay Area Sports blog: Hunter Pence: Person of Interest

Hunter Pence is a good baseball player. You know this. In case you don’t, he has hit at least 22 HRs every season since 2008 and has never had a WAR below 3.2, including a tremendous 4.7 WAR last season. Yes Hunter Pence is good. That is not why we’re here. We are here because Hunter Pence is one of the most unorthodox baseball players you will ever see. Also he looks like an Alien. Here are tweets from Giants bloggers who watched him play tonight:

Hunter Pence drank 30 bottles of 5-hour energy before this game.

Here's what McCovey Chronicles, probably the best Giants blog, had to say on the matter during its preview of the Giants and Phillies series:

"Hunter Pence is the hitter to watch. There's always a chance he could molt and shed his exoskeleton, and you don't want to miss that."

Yes Hunter Pence is a funky funky man. Here are gifs. that make me laugh.

Watch him fall down.

Watch him fall down again.

GIFSoup See him with a donut on his bat while he’s hitting.

A personal favorite.
