Hunter Pence played the last six and a half seasons with the Giants and became somewhat of a fixture of San Francisco. It was hard to believe we’d ever see him in another uniform again. But good things cannot last forever.
The Giants sent Pence off with a ceremony and a new scooter at the end of last season, giving him the opportunity a lot of players who either leave in the off-season or don’t end up playing again don’t get to have: their last moment in the sun with the fans who adore them.
Pence played winter ball in the Dominican Republic, hoping to get his swing going and hopefully make a MLB roster for the 2019 season.
