Minnesota Twins outfielder Torii Hunter had a must-see meltdown during the eighth inning of Wednesday’s 7-2 loss to the Royals after striking out on a called third strike by home plate umpire Mark Ripperger.
Hunter was up during the bottom of the eighth with one out and felt the 2-2 pitch was outside. Ripperger obviously did not agree and the two exchanged words before Hunter was ejected from the game. Twins manager Paul Molitor came out of the dugout to get in between the two and was also ejected.
Hunte then decided to get his money’s worth, and boy did he ever.
