The Philadelphia Phillies needed a right-handed bat before the July 2011 trade deadline, so Ruben Amaro Jr. picked up Hunter Pence from the Houston Astros. Pence became an immediate fan favorite. While Phillies fans wait to see if Dave Dombrowski, Sam Fuld and Co. will make another move before Tuesday’s 6 p.m. ET trade deadline, take a stroll down memory lane with Pence, who put up huge numbers for the Phillies on their way to a franchise-record 102 games in 2011. Pence remembers the good times, the agony of losing to the Cardinals in the NLDS and being traded to the Giants in July 2012. In between, though, there are plenty of laughs, and a nice little surprise that illustrates just how popular Pence became in such a short period of time in Philadelphia.
