Most of the time when we have a post about something said on Twitter it’s because it was bad, but here’s some actual good stuff from the 140-character universe.
Giants outfielder Hunter Pence suffered a broken left forearm Thursday when he was hit by a pitch from Cubs minor leaguer Corey Black.
Black, who spent last season at Double-A, tweeted an apology to Pence. And then Pence replied with something equally nice:
Lost for words. Hope you heal fast @hunterpence hitting someone is never a good feeling. Hurting someone is even worse.

@CblackCHC It happens my friend. Thanks for the concern, it’s a part of the game we love. No slowing down! — Hunter Pence (@hunterpence) March 6, 2015
See, now that’s good sportsmanship in 2015!
And hopefully Pence makes a speedy recovery, potentially missing only a couple weeks of the regular season.
