In the fall of 2014, I was all aboard the panda express. No, I’m not talking about the restaurant, and no, I’m not talking about that martial arts practicing bear, either. I’m talking about the 2012 World Series Most Valuable Player, swing at (and somehow hit) every pitch outside of the strike zone, bubblegum-blowing All Star third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who from 2008-2014 served as an integral part of a San Francisco Giants dynasty that won three World Series in the span of five years.
