Hunter, Molitor get tossed
More info
We have a new contender for on-field meltdown of the year.
Minnesota Twins outfielder Torii Hunter went a little haywire after being called out on strikes by home plate umpire Mark Ripperger during the eighth inning Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals.
Hunter first appeared displeased by Ripperger's strike two call, which in all honesty appeared to a pinpoint strike from Royals reliever Luke Hochevar. The strike three pitch was a fastball that appeared to tail off the plate by several inches, to which Hunter immediately responded by confronting Ripperger behind the plate.
