Say goodbye to Hunter Pence's facial hair situation, as he's shaved it all off (!)

The start of a new baseball season is on the horizon. The start of a new month began on Wednesday. 
In the spirit of all things "new," Hunter Pence apparently saw fit to give himself a bit of a fresh look in time for the Giants' Spring Training game with the Dodgers. For context, here's how he looked just last week at Photo Day:

Yes, that's the same Pence we all know and love. Just with a new look.

Hunter has a point, though. It is just a shave, and it will grow back ... if he lets it. Until then, we'll dedicate this Sarah McLachlan classic to his old look ...
