MINNEAPOLIS -- As Torii Hunter sat at the podium at Target Field for his retirement press conference on Thursday, he was flanked by Twins manager Paul Molitor and general manager Terry Ryan.
But they were far from the only ones there to support Hunter, as his former teammates Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau and Corey Koskie were in attendance as well as former manager Tom Kelly. Twins owner Jim Pohlad and team president Dave St. Peter were also there, as Hunter left an enormous impact on the organization and the community in his 12 years in Minnesota, including the final year of his career in 2015.
