Kenneth Lawrence Hunt (July 13, 1934 – June 8, 1997) was an American professional baseball player who appeared in six Major League seasons for the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Angels and Washington Senators (1959–1964). The native of Grand Forks, North Dakota, threw and batted right-handed, stood and weighed . After two trials with the 1959–1960 Yankees, Hunt was selected by the new Los Angeles Angels franchise in the 1960 Major League Baseball expansion draft. Playing at the Angels' cozy Wrigley Field home park in , Hunt bashed 25 home runs and knocked in 84 RBI in 149 games played — one of five Angels to crack the 20 home run mark in their maiden American League season. However, surgery to repair an aneurysm near his throwing shoulder ruined his season, and Hunt never regained his productive stroke.〔(''The Bismarck Tribune'', September 5, 2010 )〕 All told, he appeared in 310 MLB games, and batted .226 with 177 hits. He was the stepfather of child actor Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster on "The Munsters") and appeared in one episode in 1965 titled "Herman the Rookie". Hunt is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Fargo, North Dakota several feet away from Roger Maris, briefly his teammate on the 1960 Yankees.〔http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=4168&PIpi=80099〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ken Hunt (outfielder)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
