Now Here's a Weird Item . . .

Deadspin linked to this thoroughly bizarre "News & Notes" item about Torii Hunter. Hunter is as good a defensive outfielder as there has, maybe, ever been. And while a smidge of superstition is one thing, this is just . . . Well, decide for yourselves:

The Last Word

Twins center fielder Torii Hunter microwaves his glove for 30 seconds if he fails to make a play the night before. After an error, it's two minutes.

"That's punishment [for the glove]," Hunter said. "You do something bad, you go to hell."

I have visions of a strange and tragic career-ending injury. Or the microwaved glove could transmit superhero-like qualities to Hunter.

Either way.

In all seriousness that guy is a treasure. Even Sox fans who hate the Twins love him.
