Hunter Pence gets fired up about almost everything - the "Harry Potter" films, Magic: the Gathering, and his job as a baseball player, for starters.

Consider the mystery solved: Paddington isn't in fact Pence's pet..though they have obviously become fast friends thanks to the magic of spring training.
