San Francisco Giants infielders Brandon Belt and Brandon Crawford are in their third season as a Major League Baseball blogging tandem.

This week, the pair tossed pinch-blogging duties at another infield-playing Brandon (Hicks) and followed up with a guest appearance by Hunter 'Brandon' Pence.

At least that's what he's going with for his entry on the Brandon blog, wherein he reveals that essentially all of the Giants are actually named... Brandon. 

A family of Brandons. 

Hello, everyone. This is Hunter Pence filling in for Brandon Hicks, or Brandon Crawford, or Brandon Belt, whoever’s turn it is supposed to be.

I’m filling in because — you probably didn’t know this — Hunter is a nickname for Brandon.

My middle name is Andrew, which is Swedish for Brandon. And Pence is English for Brandon. So my actual name is Brandon Brandon Brandon.

You also probably didn’t know that “Tim Lincecum’’ is Dutch for Brandon.

Buster is a nickname for Brandon. Pablo is Spanish for Brandon. Pagan is Puerto Rican for Brandon. Madison is Southern for Brandon. “Bumgarner’’ is — I have no idea what that is. I think it’s Arabic for Brandon.

Pretty much everyone is Brandon. We’re Team Brandon.

Hunter Pence = the best.
