Hunter Pence is a little confused about where he is.

Hunter Pence is not in Kansas anymore.

The outfielder for the San Francisco Giants says he didn't realize the Kansas City Royals were based in Missouri until he saw a Royals fan's sign that read: "Hunter Spence thinks he's in Kansas."

"We're not?" Pence thought to himself, he tells Yahoo Sports.

Pence's explanation: "I guess I'm really bad at geography. This is Missouri, correct? It's tricky."

The Hunter Pence sign craze started in August in New York when Mets fans poked fun at his IQ with a few mild insults, including "Hunter Pence can't shuffle playing cards," and "Hunter Pence eats pizza with a fork."
