Apparently the Giants couldn't figure out how much history was worth.

The bat that Hunter Pence used to hit a three-run double in the bottom of the third inning in Game 7 of the NLCS against the Cardinals was collected by a team employee and immediately placed for sale in the team's game-used equipment store at AT&T Park.

A fan came along and paid $400 for what could turn out to be a huge piece of San Francisco history.

Pence would like to regain possession of the bat and a Giants team official says the season ticket holder who bought the bat would like to return it.
