Giants Visit the White House
The San Francisco Giants visited the White House today as President Obama honored the 2012 World Series champions. They took a tour of the grounds and eventually had the ceremony.
Check out some of the highlights:
Hunter Pence showing off his more sophisticated side here with his patented Red Velvet look. He might not be the smoothest guy on the field, but I can't deny the man is smooth off the field.
Kung Fu Panda hanging out by a fireplace with a bunch of expensive looking things.
Guillermo Moscoso, Marco Scutaro, and Pablo Sandoval.
Meeting the President.
Dress rehearsal for the club.

I think the best autographs are ones you can read. Obama didn't necessarily say that, but we're kind of on the same page here.
Bochy, Posey present Obama with bat, ball from Series. Obama: "I can't read any of your signatures."

@AlexPavlovic has to have Posey confused with Trout, right? I think that's what happened here.
Posey and his wife are walking around by side of White House. Trying to figure out where to put their swing set, I'd guess.

Vote of confidence from the President.
During private visit Obama told Bochy he's confident Giants can turn it around because they're a second half team.

All in all, looks like it was a good day to be a Giant.
