Notre Dame WR Torii Hunter Jr. also following in father's baseball footsteps

When Torii Hunter Jr. committed to Notre Dame for football, some baseball fans in these parts might have wondered, "Torii Hunter has a son that old?"

Torii Hunter, the recently retired longtime Major League outfielder, spent most of his career with the Minnesota Twins but also is remembered for playing for the Detroit Tigers in the 2013 and 2014 seasons.

It's true, his son is old enough to be in college. It's also true that the Notre Dame sophomore is good enough to play both football and baseball for the Irish, which he is doing as a receiver and outfielder for a second year.
