Hank White Smacks Two Bombs, Padres Beat Giants

Henry,

Way to smack two monster bombs at Petco last night off the Gints' Jonathan Sanchez. Sanchez had some good stuff early but you scoffed at that and went ahead and hit two bombs anyway. Adrian had the big 3-run double to break the game wide open but your two bombs set an early pace for the Padre offense that, along with Peavy's gem outing, kept the team in the game.

Your right handed pull power is what Kevin Towers envisioned when he traded for Doug Mirabelli back before the 2006 season. Except you know what you're doing behind the plate as well, which is more than that scrub Mirabelli had going for him.

Also, that's a sweet tat on your left arm. I gotta get me one of those.

Best,
Bevormo
