His team, the San Francisco Giants have been giving him a new lesson of never give-up on anything. The Giants bounced back in this season after showing some poor performances early in the competition are giving enormous energy to Pence, who also had been gone through from these types of circumstances in the Major League since his arrival in 2007.
Now San Francisco side is playing with the St. Louis Cardinals in the deceive encounter before the World Series clash against the Detroit Tigers.
The seven-match series is tied 3-3 at the moment and Giants' right fielder feels that his team will oust the Cardinals and will make sure its place in the World Series finale.

Bruce Bochy, the Giants' manager has already indicated in the media that he wants Hunter Pence in the roster for next season as well.
“Certain players, I believe, you need in the lineup, for the way they handle pressure, their energy, how much their teammates respect them and how they play the game. I don’t believe except on rare occasions you sit a player like that unless he’s absolutely lost,” Giants' manager Bruce Bochy said.
Bochy commented about Pence and said, “If you have a player who’s frozen, now swinging, taking pitches, who’s in-between, that’s when you’re concerned. All I want is that guys get their swings off. It may not go well, but if you’re going to go down, go down swinging.”
Now speculations are on the rise that in next few days, the Giants will be making a potential move to extend Pence’s contract.
