A day after the Giants signed Mark Melancon to be their closer, several critical details about the new closer emerged when he spoke on a conference call.
Melancon's dog is named Lou Holtz. ("My wife went to Notre Dame.")
Melancon and Hunter Pence have done yoga together. ("I think we get a kick out of one another.")
Ryan Vogelsong did quite a sell job on the Giants when he and Melancon were teammates in Pittsburgh, long before Melancon became a free agent.
"I would have to say Ryan was very open on how much he liked the Giants organization," Melancon said on Tuesday’s conference call.
