Hunter Pence Apologizes For KPIX 5 Photobomb - Do We Accept? Yes! Yes! Yes!

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) - As fans tried to console themselves after the Giants' game three loss to the Washington Nationals Monday night one man had the courage to lead the team on to the National League Championship Series, on the back of a motorized scooter.

Right fielder Hunter Pence zoomed out of the locker room Monday night - rocking his headphones and T-shirt that indicated he was still ready for 'Kombat' - and ran right through the KPIX 5 reporter Mark Kelly's live shot. Here's the clip:

A little over 24 hours later, Pence and his teammates got the job done, sending the Nationals home for the winter and setting up a battle for the National League with St. Louis.

On Thursday, the slugger who has become a fountain of (not safe for work) inspirational locker room speeches took to Twitter to apologize for the phtotobomb.

Pence is the man behind the Giants' "Yes" mantra for the 2014 season, a slogan he picked up from WWE star Daniel Bryan.

CBS SF wants to officially return the positivity by letting Pence know he's off the hook for the photobomb, after all, how could you stay mad at this face...
