Hunter Pence Cracks Up Conan

San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence was labeled as plenty of things this postseason...an inspirational leader, the lead singer from Spin Doctors and, of course, a crazy eyed meme generator.

But if his recent appeance on Conan is any indication...dude is also pretty funny.

What a difference a World Series makes, huh?  Last week at this time, the 29-year-old Pence looked like a grizzled mountain man and now, well, he's clean shaven and recommending Katy Perry.

Happy Birthday...Terry Forster?

Long before the current Tonight Show war between NBC and Conan O'Brien or, depending on how you look at it...O'Brien and Jay Leno, there was the much hyped Leno feud with David Letterman.

Before that...it was Letterman versus 1974 American League saves leader Terry Forster. In 1985, Letterman hit his airways to publicly bash the 270 pound hurler and today...Forster turns 58.

Who cares, right?

Well, in my veiled attempt to capitalize on popular search terms ("The Tonight Show", "Conan O'Brien" and "tub of goo"), I want to pass along a post by frenemy (look it up...its a word) of The Hall Bill who takes care of business over at The Daily Something.

I'm kind of embarrassed to admit it, but Forster, despite being a good pitcher and a colorful character for sixteen years, is a guy I knew nothing at all about 30 minutes ago. His career ended months before my grade school self started paying attention to baseball. But he's a guy worth knowing about.

Forster wakes up a 58 year-old this morning.

But the really interesting thing about Forster isn't his pitching or his brief late-night-talk hero status. It's this: .397/.413/.474.
