It was announced on February 7, 2020 that Hunter Pence had resigned with the Giants in a move that caught all of us off guard. In celebration of this glorious day, here are my Top 10 photographs of Hunter Pence as seen from section 105.

A Giant Sweep
Theriot disappears into a mob of teammates slapping his helmet and high fiving him. A moment Theriot, Scutaro, and Phil Coke will never forget. Scutaro ends up taking 2nd base on the throw home and was now in scoring position himself. However, Sandoval grounded out on the first pitch, ending the inning. Can’t that guy ever just hit a home run? Sheesh. But the damage was done. Now the Giants just needed to get 3 outs.
Top 10 Photos Of 2018
The 2018 baseball season was a good one for me as I crossed off two new parks on my list (bringing me up to 16 different yards) by traveling to Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Progressive Field did not make the Top 10 but PNC Park did as I happened to be there for Andrew McCutchen’s homecoming.Continue reading “Top 10 Photos Of 2018”
Panda Preys On Tigers
If you created a poll before Game 1 and asked people who they thought was the most likely player to hit 3 home runs in this game, you’d probably hear Miguel Cabrera’s name the most. He lead the AL in average, home runs, RBI, slugging, extra base hits, multi-hit games, and total bases. In fact he won the triple crown this year and was easily the MVP. With 44 big flies, he was a threat for sure. Just not tonight. Tonight belonged to Pablo Sandoval (#ForeverGiant).
Top 10 Photos Of 2019
I have so many photos over the last 5 years of great Giants moments and I feel like they’re going to waste just sitting on my hard drives. So I’m going to make some Top 10 lists!
Dancing In The Rain
So when it started to rain in the 9th, it was as if 43,000 fans were cleansed of the blood, sweat, and tears they were covered in over the last 12 games. A shower to end all showers. The rain that fell that inning was the hardest I had ever seen it in any baseball game ever, but I also didn’t really care. No one did. 43,000 people were completely soaked but there were also 43,000 orange towels in the stadium so they were covered.
#RallyZito
On December 29, 2006, Barry Zito was signed by the Giants to a 7 year $126 million contract, the highest ever paid to a pitcher at the time. Zito won the AL Cy Young in 2002 and was a 3 time All Star before coming across the bay. As he was 29 in his firstContinue reading “#RallyZito”
Giants Slam Latos
re no stranger to Latos. He was a well known Giants hater and if that doesn’t already piss you off, he spells “Matt” with one “t”. Two years earlier after the Giants beat him in Game 162 of 2010 (when he was with Padres), he autographed a baseball for charity and included the phrase “I hate SF” under his signature. What a dick.
“I Want One More Day With You”
Boy if you were nervous before this game started the bottom of the 1st must have cut your life expectancy by 3 years. Remember, this was the Division Series and the Giants were one loss away from being eliminated. The Reds just destroyed us at home and now here we are in Cincinnati trying to win three in a row. The Reds never lost 3 consecutinve games at home all year and Homer Bailey, the Giant slayer, was on the mound.
For The First Time In 56 Years
If you’re Edgar Renteria, you think you just bought yourself a fastball that you can sit on. Edgar digs in and boy does he look hitterish. Cliff Lee winds and deals. He throws Edgar an 86 mph cutter that caught too much of the plate. Renteria puts a nice swing on it, keeping his hands in and drives it to deep left center field.
Ten. Twelve. Fourteen.
