Few players have brought as much hell-bent style to the diamond as the little second baseman who wore the colors of five ballclubs. Ron made his professional debut in the Milwaukee Braves Organization, but his big-league baptism came with the New York Mets in 1963, after he jumped from Class AA. Following four seasons with the Mets, Ron headed for California, spending the 1967 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and three years with the San Francisco Giants. Then in December 1970 he was traded to the Montreal Expos where he spent the next four years. At the end of the 1974 season he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Hunt was quick to realize that he wasn't overwhelmed with talent, but compensated for the shortage by working feverishly, and it paid off in a 12 year career that produced a .273 batting average and a .347 on base percentage. He has also been part of the 1964 and 1966 All Star Team and received the Look Magazine All American Team Award.
Power was never a Hunt trademark, but he sure had a knack for getting on base in countless ways. In 1971 the magic number was 50. Hunt's body was hit 50 times by pitches, and when he finally took his bruised and battered frame into retirement, he'd been hit 243 times by opposing pitchers. |
