You Know Who's Hot? #3

I've been waiting all weekend for some inspiration for this week's Hot post. And I just got it!

This week's offering is the stellar Hunter Pence, right-fielder for our very own Houston Astros. I love baseball. I love baseball season. And I love the Houston Astros. I love the fact that just about every other day, from April - September, I can flip through the channels and find the 'stros to watch in the background of whatever I'm doing around the house. I love going to baseball games... hot dogs, beer, peanuts, time with friends and family, and that wonderful feeling that for a few hours, all that matters is a bat, a ball, and some guys running from base to base. I'm enchanted with the romance of baseball.

Today, as I cleaned, did laundry, lay out at the pool, etc., I watched the Astros beat Milwaukee in 12 innings. How, you might ask, did the guys win? Hunter Pence, of course. He hit a 2-run homer that won the game!! And this isn't the first time he's done it!

Hunter is a whopping 6'4" drink of water, and he's from Ft. Worth, so he's a Texan, to boot! Here's to you, Hunter, in all your 25-year old athletic amazingness! Can't wait to see you sometime in person this season!

We should go see him together! I am an Astros-crazy person, too! I haven't decided who is my fav Astro this year.l I need to go to a game!

Excellent choice!

You just can't go wrong with a baseball player who also happens to be a Texan (with an adorable smile). Oh, and he's a big-time family guy.

Yum, yum Hunter Pence. Altho, I'm more of an Ausmus girl. I'm in mourning due to this being his last season with the 'Stros.

My son was at yesterday's game. However, he left before Pence saved the day. He was incredibly bummed!
