Yep very good career. If they had a Hall of Very Good, he'd be in it. I know their was talk of a possible front office gig, with the Twins, after he retired.

 

[BigMac1212]

At least he came back home to retire.

 

[TF97]

Very good career. Nice to see him retire with the Twins. Best of luck in retirement Torii!

 

[HisIceness]

Damn, soon there won't be any 90's guys left.

no

Enjoy retirement.

Torii Hunter has always been one of those guys who's not as good as his reputation suggests. He won a crap load of gold gloves despite ranging from poor to barely acceptable defensively and was always (until recently at least) good but never great offensively, although there were times where he was on the borderline of good and great I suppose).

 

[TootooTrain]

One of my favourites. Hope he returns to baseball in some capacity.

 

[robert terwilliger]

decent player, ****** person.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

At least he came back home to retire.

Yeah, and he actually played. None of that one-day contract BS.

He will always be an idiot for describing Afro-Latinos as fake blacks.

 

[Terry Yake]

one hell of a career and forever an A's killer. nice to see him retire with the twins.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Thought he would play another year.

Good career.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

decent player, ****** person.

He had a good career but he's an absolute idiot.

 

[The Enemy Within]

Always loved watching Torii play. Being a Twins fan my whole life, I kind of grew up with him. Wish nothing but the best for him. Always will be one of my favorite players.

What am I forgetting here?

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Google torii hunter idiot and it should have a lot of hits.

 

[Swervin81]

I'd say Torii Hunter is moreso an ignorant idiot than a bad person.

Which isn't a good thing either.

 

[Pwnasaurus]

Eh. He's Mike Cameron with more baggage.

 

[robert terwilliger]

i'd say a guy who promotes people who campaign against gay marriage is more of a bad person.

i'd say a guy who says that he wouldn't be comfortable around a gay teammate by hiding behind the cloak of jesus is a bad person.

and i'd call the guy who, rather than clarifying his stance and maybe looking at it from the perspective of the people who explained why they felt the way they felt, attacked the person who wrote the article.

as i said: decent player, ****** person.

Didn't he also take a swing at Albert Pujols?
