First and foremost, I hope that Baltimore Orioles fans will join me in wishing Tommy Hunter well in Chicago. And on a similar note he’s very lucky in that he’s going from one special ballpark and tradition to another. Hunter called The Ballpark That Forever Changed Baseball home for the past three years or so, and now he’ll head to The Friendly Confines.
The trade deadline is always somewhat nerve-wracking for players who might potentially be on the move. In Hunter’s case, his trade literally came right up against the deadline.
