We’re proud to announce the first two winners of this year’s Mr. Energy of the month powered by Hanwha. The winning ball player, as selected directly by Giant’s fans is… Ángel Pagan. Ángel has been a power hitter for the San Francisco Giants for the last two years. He set a new record for home hitting streak at 28 games his first season with the team. He was also the leadoff hitter for most of the 2012 World Series games for the Giants. While he had a rough season due to injuries last year, he’s working hard to get back into his playing form. Obviously, he’s doing a great job as the fans have recognized his efforts by voting him as Mr. Energy for April. Congrats, Ángel! You deserve it and we can’t wait to see you smash the ball this summer.
Mr. Energy isn’t just awarded to a stellar ball player on the field, we also choose a voter to win a grand slam prize package. This year’s Mr. Energy prize package includes an autographed jersey and baseball, a solar cellphone charger and a $200 Visa gift card. Our first fan award goes to Michael Feeney of San Francisco. Michael has been a big fan of the Giants for seventeen years, ever since he moved to the Bay Area.
During his many trips to the ballpark, he has witnessed a number of momentous moments including Barry Bonds hitting his 600th ball and Matt Cain’s perfect game. When Michael isn’t gracing the Giants with his presence, he spends his time gardening, cooking (using some of his garden grown and handpicked herbs) and visiting the beach. We spent a few minutes of Michael’s day to discuss winning the prize, his affection for baseball and solar energy. We asked him if he had any thoughts on solar power. His response brightened our day. “We’re looking at getting solar for our home. We have a hot tub and the idea of saving on our energy bill is pretty enticing. Besides the savings, we like the idea of decreasing our dependency on oil in the U.S. That has to happen.” We couldn’t agree more. Congratulations Michael!
You could be our next big winner. Be sure to vote for Mr. Energy and you’ll be entered into our monthly drawing with Hanwha. Good luck and we’ll see you at the ballpark.
