Hanging with Mr. Hunter - behind the scenes with Torii Hunter

We at MVN got a request from the marketing agency that works with Torii Hunter; apparently he has started a new feature called Hanging with Mr. Hunter. I've embedded the clip here so you can check it out.

Here are my thoughts: I think this is one of the reasons that Arte Moreno signed Torii Hunter; Moreno knew that with Torii he was getting more than just a ballplayer but rather, someone who would market and sell the team.

And make no mistake, Moreno is all about selling the team and getting the Angels brand out to the rest of California and the U.S.

Some of the highlights of the video:

Torii Hunter gets lost - Hunter travels south on the 55, which judging from the south Orange County location where he is leaving from, will not get him to Angel Stadium.

Torii Hunter sings the praises of the Rally Monkey - Torii Hunter talks about going to the beach with the Rally Monkey.

Torii Hunter secretly loves "Desperate Housewives" - He disavows any knowledge of the ABC dramedy or does he?

Torii Hunter has a brother - Whose name is "Tram"??

Torii Hunter tries to pass himself off as Gary Matthews, Jr. - Torii, of course, we know you aren't Gary Matthews, Jr.!! Gary Matthews, Jr. gets embroiled in HGH controversies; Torii Hunter gets involved with Jackie Robinson day controversies!!

Anyway, Angels fans, what do you think of Hanging with Mr. Hunter? Would you like to see more?

I like it! Short, funny and a good selling tool for Garmin.

I think you are right Joe, Torii Hunter brings a lot more than his game to the Angels business model. He is a great personality who the Angels would be wise to hitch their wagon to. I can see him playing for many years followed by a Rex Hudler type broadcasting career afterwards.
