Hunter Pence

Hunter Pence is one of my favorite kinds of athlete: all heart, all energy. At 6-foot-4 with that herky-jerky running style, he was unmistakable, and his fiery clubhouse speeches during the Giants' 2012 and 2014 World Series runs became part of franchise lore. Winning the 2013 Willie Mac Award, voted by teammates for spirit and leadership, says everything about how he was viewed inside the game. What I respect most is the unfiltered passion he brought, a love of baseball so contagious it lifted everyone around him. A genuinely beloved player, and rightly so.
