Here's the update you didn't know you wanted.
Where, you ask, is Tony Pena, Jr.?
Pena is a relief pitcher for the Richmond Va., Flying Squirrels, a Double A team in the San Francisco Giants organization. The Flying Squirrels have just begun their initial season in the Eastern League, opening a new ballpark called "The Diamond" and, with an off day today, they are seven games over .500 in second place.
Last night against Altoona he closed out the game in a losing cause, going an inning and a third, giving up one hit and no runs while striking out two. He contributed a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth.
Tony Pena Sr.'s son has a 1.27 ERA at Richmond, having appeared in 11 games in relief. His ERA last year in Double A was 2.67.
Kind of warms the heart, doesn't it?
