Hunter Pence, the two-time World Series champion with the San Francisco Giant, joined Sactown Sports Wednesday to talk about his recent visit to Sacramento.
This past weekend, Pence and former World Series champion Josh Reddick, joined the Savanah Bananas at Sutter Health Park. For those not familiar, the Bananas are like the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball with a lot of gimmicks and fan involvement throughout the game.
“If you love baseball, it’s so fun to bring your family to the Savanah Bananas games and it’s really fun as an old player to get a chance to go out there and have some fun,” Pence said.
