Torii Hunter Raves about Target Field

Former Twin and current Angel Torii HunterTorii Hunter was a fan favorite and wore the Minnesota Twin jersey proudly. After years of playing in the Metrodome, Torii Hunter left for greener pastures in Los Angeles, California. Although he is an Angel, he will always be a Twin. Torii Hunter was so important for the Twins during the pivotal years after Kirby Puckett. The team was supposed to be contracted from baseball. After visiting Target Field for the first time last weekend, Hunter couldn't help but be emotional. He knew he was a big reason that stadium is there today. In an interview after playing at the new ballpark, Torii Hunter said, "Target Field is better than Yankee Stadium. It's the best stadium in baseball." I agree with Torii, Target Field is the best stadium in baseball.

Hometown favorite for sure. From what I hear, Mauer could learn a thing or two from Hunter in the public relations department. Mauer has a hard time, being very shy, talking to the press after games. He makes them wait outside the locker room, when Hunter (!) would give them a few comments after every game-- allowing them to go home to their families and leaving the other players in peace. Take notes Mauer, take notes.
