Hunter Pence's Fall from $90M Superstar to Fighting for an MLB Job
It's nearly impossible to root against Hunter Pence.
He's one of the quirkiest, most inscrutable players in modern MLB memory. He rides a scooter. He delivers champagne-soaked clubhouse sermons (note: contains profanity) that lead, directly or indirectly, to World Series titles. He hits baseballs multiple times with a broken bat in championship-defining moments. He appears on the reboot of Full House.
His irrepressibly positive, high-energy persona and herky-jerk mechanics helped define the San Francisco Giants' improbable, magical even-year dynasty. Before that, he left his mark on the Houston Astros, the club that drafted him in the second round in 2004.
