As the Nationals open the NLDS against the Giants, fans have taken to continuing what has become something of a trolling tradition throughout the major leagues.
Giants outfielder Hunter Pence has turned into a social-media star thanks to the #HunterPenceSigns hashtag. What began with some creative Mets fans simply picking on Pence has transformed into an internet meme.
Washington got into the spirit Friday, bringing to Nationals Park some interesting signs.
