Alex Trebek reminded a 'Jeopardy' contestant that the Giants did not win the 2017 World Series
"Jeopardy" and its host, Alex Trebek, have demonstrated their love of baseball over the years, dedicating questions and even entire categories to it. But beware: Trebek may be a fan of our national pastime, but that doesn't mean he's above a good zinger every now and then.
On Tuesday night's episode, contestant Tim Aten explained that, after winning a previous episode of the show, he received support from all over the Internet -- including, in Aten's words, "Hunter Pence, World Series champion." While Pence does have two World Series rings from his time in San Francisco, Trebek wanted to make clear that neither of them came from this year's team:
Pence, for his part, took it in stride:
@Jeopardy IˇŻll take ˇ°Got Wrecked by Alex Trebekˇ± for $1000, Alex. https://t.co/fJV5WjAoCP

Hey, two in the last six years still isn't bad.
