Giants set to face Mets in hair-raising Wild Card Game

NEW YORK - Hunter Pence and Buster Posey were as loose as one would expect of two players who own five World Series rings and survived eight postseason elimination games since 2012.

Before Tuesday's workout at Citi Field, a writer asked Pence if the stack of blond curls sprouting on top of his black headband was a new look for the playoffs.

"Yeah, I just created this look instantaneously. It just showed up," Pence said with a big smile. Posey, asked if he might emulate Pence, said, "No, I can't pull that one off."

For Pence to win ring three and Posey ring four, the Giants will have to pull off another do-or-die win in Wednesday's Wild Card Game against the Mets at Citi Field.
