Throwback Thursday: Torii Hunter’s Five RBI Game

Take me back to May 21, 2002. The Minnesota Twins defeated the Texas Rangers, 8-2. A win that moved the Twins to 17-6 at the beautiful stadium that was the Metrodome.

Twins center fielder at the time, Torii Hunter drove in five runs. Hunter hit a home run and a double in the game. At that point of the 2002 season, Hunter was hitting .335 with 12 home runs and 29 RBIs. According to ESPN.Com, he was also the AL Player of the Month in April.

Fast forward to 2015 and Hunter is back with the Twins and playing right field.
