AT&T Park in San Francisco was alive with the sound of almost-baseball on Saturday afternoon as thousands of Giants fans came together for FanFest.

Who would Hunter Pence want to be stranded with on a deserted island? Madison Bumgarner, because apparently he can "build anything."

What happened to Brian Sabean after he traded Matt Williams to the Cleveland Indians in 1996 for Jeff Kent (and Julian Tavarez and Jose Vizcaino)? The longtime GM said he got death threats on his voicemail.
