WENTZVILLE, Mo. — OK, before we get too deep into Ron Hunt’s entertaining baseball life and his troubling current battle, the man has a request. A half-kidding, half-definitely-not condition, really, for doing this interview in the first place.
“Find out if anyone has a copy of the 1964 All-Star Game [telecast],” the local hero of that Midsummer Classic barked to The Post last week, here at his farm. “I’d love to see that.”
Can anyone out there fulfill this needle-in-a-haystack request? MLB Network and SNY already dug through their archives out of respect for Hunt’s contributions to the game and produced a few snippets for the former infielder (for the Mets and four other teams) and his family.
