Default Latest honor offers proof Pence belongs

Latest honor offers proof Astros' Pence belongs in majors | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle


By RONNIE TURNER

Quote:
During his rookie season with the Astros, outfielder Hunter Pence would often wake up in the morning and ask himself: "Am I really here?"

It was a worthwhile question, considering Pence labored for more than three seasons in the Astros' minor league system before being called up to the majors on April 27, 2007.

But after a highlight-filled rookie season that saw the 24-year-old hit .322 with 17 home runs, 30 doubles, nine triples and 69 RBIs in 108 games, Pence not only knows he's in the majors but that he'll be around for a while.

Pence's accomplishments as a rookie were front and center Thursday night when he was named the Astros Rookie of the Year for 2007 at the 23rd annual Houston Baseball Dinner at the Hilton Americas-Houston.

"It's such an honor to win this award," Pence said. "I still have to pinch myself to remind me this is really happening."

Bam Bam is his nickname. I don't remember if I've heard why he's named Bam Bam, but I believe it's because he is always hitting the ball somewhere.
