Hunter Pence Hits Home 476-Foot Home Run, Longest of 2013 Season (Video)

Found August 28, 2013 on NESN.com:
PLAYERS: Hunter Pence,  Mike Napoli,  Mark Trumbo,  Anthony Rizzo
TEAMS: San Francisco Giants,  Boston Red Sox,  Los Angeles Angels,  Chicago Cubs
Mike Napoli hit a baseball very, very far Tuesday night, but it paled in comparison up against the ball hit by Giants outfielder Hunter Pence. Pence hit the farthest home run of the 2013 season Tuesday night, and he did it (of course) at Coors Field in Colorado. The outfielder lifted off for a 476-foot blast to left field in baseball’s friendliest hitter’s park, a blast that cleared the left-field seats. According to ESPN’s Home Run Tracker, the blast just beats out the previous longest home runs of the season. Mark Trumbo and Anthony Rizzo have both hit 475-foot blasts. Napoli, whose majestic shot against Baltimore on Tuesday night went 432 feet, also hit a ball 472 feet in May. See Pence’s blast below. Your browser does not support iframes.

The longest homer of this season has been hit by...Hunter Pence?!

Via The Outside Corner  |  August 28, 2013
Everyone loves long homers. The longest homer of the 2013 season (so far) was hit last night at Coors Field (because of course jt was). The man behind this monstrous homer wasn't Giancarlo Stanton, or Mike Trout, or Mike Napoli, but actually Hunter Pence of the Giants. Wait, what? Hunter Pence? That's right, Hunter Pence. Pence's bomb in the first inning off of Rockies...

Giants' Pence goes really, really deep in 5-3 win at Colorado

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  August 28, 2013
The Giants made history last year when winning the World Series. If they don't improve in the standings they'll make history again for all the wrong reasons. They could become just the second team since the World Series was created to follow a championship with a last-place finish. The only team to finish last a year after winning a World Series was the 1998 Marlins and...

Pence, Sandoval help Giants beat Rockies 5-3

Via Fox Sports  |  August 28, 2013
Hunter Pence sidestepped questions about his home run, the one that cleared the top row of seats in left field. No, he didn't hear anything special when the ball made contact with his bat in the first inning. And no, he didn't realize it was going to travel an extra-long way. Pence wanted to avoid that topic all together after the San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado...

Mike Napoli and Adult Film Star Rachel Starr?
