Hunter Pence Gets Some Bizarre & Hilarious Taunts

I don’t know what Hunter Pence did to get some of these weird taunts from fans, but I’m glad he did it. It’s easy to taunt a player on the opposing team when he’s an All-Star like the San Francisco Giants outfielder, but the shots that the opposing fans have been taking at Pence lately […]

I’m beginning to worry about Jeff Francoeur. If you don’t remember, a few months back Francoeur’s teammates pulled off one of the best pranks I have ever seen.
