Don't feel bad if you don't know how much the shattered bat that Hunter Pence used for his famous "triple hit" in Monday night's NLCS Game 7 win over St. Louis is worth. Neither do the San Francisco Giants. Or at least they didn't. According to Andrew Baggarly of CSN Bay Area , the bat that Pence awkwardly used to hit a three-run double in the bottom of the third was collected by a team employee and immediately placed for sale in the team's game-used equipment store at AT&T Park. A fan with a better eye for the value of history came along a little while later and paid a piddling $400 for what could end up being San Francisco's version of the bloody sock — a broken relic that perfectly represents the improbability of the Giants running a 6-0 record in elimination games this postseason. From CSN Bay Area:
Hunter Pence’s broken bat mistakenly sold for $400 in Giants team store
