In Sunday's extra inning win over the Pirates, Pence got a 2-out double in the 10th. Raul Ibanez, who already had two home runs in the game, doubled Pence in for the winning run. Pence was interviewed after the game by Sarge Matthews. Sarge asked Pence what he was thinking when Ibanez hit the double. Pence said "Good game, let's go eat".
"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then, just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops."
- Bart Giamatti
