Hours after right fielder Hunter Pence gave his peripatetic “I’m not ready to go home yet” speech before Game 3 of the 2012 Division Series in Cincinnati, Ryan Vogelsong helped Pence and all the Giants realize their dream of playing another day by holding the Reds to one run in five innings.
The Giants won that game and five more elimination games on their way to the second of their three San Francisco World Series championships.
Pence was thrilled to hear the Giants are bringing Vogelsong to China Basin on Sunday so he can retire as a Giant.
