Houston Astros outfielder and b5media colleague Hunter Pence is answering reader questions over at Inside the Ballpark. In the first installment, he details his game day routine:
After I’m happy with my swing, I will watch the last start of the pitcher we are facing until batting practice begins. After batting practice, I eat a banana, one grilled chicken breast and down a lot of water to get hydrated. By 6:00 pm (one hour before game time) I’ll go through one more short hitting routine that generally ends at 6:15. Then I just try to relax for fifteen minutes and mentally prepare for the game before I head to the field to stretch at 6:30 pm.
Hunter also talks about the importance of maintaining a consistent routine. Oh, and speaking of Hunter, I just drafted him in a fantasy league. 
Don’t rub it in on the whole drafting thing.
And you two better not be in cahoots. lol
Shhh, it’s our little secret…
