Hunter is the fearless face of the fearless Twins, who were a fashionable preseason pick to win the World Series but are at this moment baseball's forgotten championship contender. Though they're four games back of the legit White Sox, the Twins are stealthily on pace to have their finest season in four decades. And the boisterous Hunter has led the Twins' charge In June, during which Minnesota has won six of seven games, the center fielder is batting .552 with a 1.034 slugging percentage and is on pace to have the finest all-around season of his career despite bone chips in his elbow, a separated joint in his left shoulder, and a broken toe. You name it, I've got it, ... Some players have to be at 100 percent to play, but I don't.
