The Reverend Hunter Pence's fiery sermons are inspiring the Giants

How did the Giants, after being down 0-2, come back to win three road games in a row to win the NLDS? Hunter Pence, who's acquired the nickname "Reverend" from his teammates, had something to do with it.

The outfielder has been pumping up his San Francisco teammates with spirited pregame pep talks that Tim McCarver compared to the oratory of Burt Lancaster in Elmer Gantry, and Game 1 of the NLCS was no different. Erin Andrews explained as much ... and on a different note, was the recipient of another Sergio Romo photobomb.
