The Bleacher Bums: August 1, 2006 Archive
Hats off to Hunter...

As we all know (and knew going in), the Twins didn’t get Alfonso Soriano or any other impact players prior to the trading deadline, but their line-up did receive a boost last night from a familiar face – Torii Hunter. The resilient centerfielder returned in the minimum 15 days from a stress fracture in his left foot and looked as fleet as ever. The fact that he came back from a potentially long term injury in such a short time is commendable and should inspire some of his younger teammates to play through their nagging injuries as the season winds down. Oh yeah, the photogenic Gold Glover also went 3-5 with a homer and 4 RBI in the 15-2 route of Texas. This likely will be Hunter’s farewell tour of Twins Territory and I’m guessing he’ll make the most of it.

The big news today is the official announcement that the Twins will be moving away from WCCO radio over to KSTP next year. The Twins had been on CCO since 1961, the team's first season in Minnesota, but business is business, as they say.
