HI

for the longest time, jocelyn has been trying to pick a new giants player to be her favorite. it has been difficult since some of her past favorites don't stay for very long.

she finally decided on hunter pence. three reasons. one he looks like a crazy hobo with his piercing eyes and scruffy face. two he wears his socks up to his knees. three he travels by scooter to and from games (not sure if he does this anymore since everyone knows about it).

we left a game at the top of the 9th and were lingering in the arcade area. they had a tv there and some of my friends wanted to watch the (bitter) end of the warrior’s game.

while the guys did that, the girls wandered over to watch the rest of the baseball game. the area was mostly deserted since the giants were losing. we were standing in the second archway when jocelyn remarked at how close hunter pence was. if it wasn’t for the barracade, gate, chain link fence, and security we could probably run out onto the field and grab him. we could say hi to him she said. when i said she should she looked down and said, “i can’t. i’m shy”.

before i realized what i was doing i stood on the barricade and started to yell hi at him. didn’t even say his name, was just yelling hi at him. he turned around and looked at us. we waved at him and he waved back. then he turned back around to focus on the game. my friend and i proceeded to squeal like fan girls.

it was probably nothing for him and he probably won't remember doing that but it was such an epic moment. so thanks for waving back hunter pence. warm fuzzies.
