Ex-Tiger Torii Hunter throws tantrum after ejection Hunter tossed for arguing balls and strikes No description found
DETROIT – Minnesota Twins outfielder Torii Hunter was ejected Wednesday night for arguing balls and strikes. But what happened next could be the tantrum of the year, so far.
The former Detroit Tigers player approached home plate umpire Mark Ripperger and stated his disapproval before being tossed. On his way to the dugout, Hunter got his money's worth, throwing his arm and leg guards, batting gloves and even his jersey.
