Minnesota Twins outfielder Torii Hunter is one of the best baseball players if this generation; Not many people are going to argue that. However, Hunter is also getting up there in age as his illustrious career comes to a close, and the magnifying glass was put on that a little closer Saturday with his 40th birthday taking place.

Yes, Torii Hunter is 40, we’re all old.

Anyway, as you would imagine, some of the younger members on the Twins wanted to have a little fun with this, which is understandable. And they came through in a pretty nice way.


So Hunter was given some Depends and a walker, among some other things. But, again, you can’t really blame the Twins teammates here, they need to show Hunter that his future isn’t as bright as he might think it is. He’s approaching that senior citizen age and there’s nothing that he can really do about it.

The good news is that Hunter is one of the most colorful personalities that you will find and he’s taking it all in stride.
