Domer Dad Torii Hunter, Sr. -- Retires from MLB

Notre Dame Dad Torii Hunter, Sr. (father of Fighting Irish wide receiver Torii Hunter, Jr.) called it a career yesterday as he announced his retirement from Major League Baseball after 19 years in the big leagues...

What a career it was!

• 19 seasons
• 9 Gold Gloves
• 5 All-Star Game selections
• 309 home runs
• 195 stolen bases

How's this -- he turned 40 years-old this past July and he still produced these types of numbers for the Twins in his final season:

• 22 home runs
• 81 RBI

To put Torii Hunter's career in perspective -- there's only one man in the history of baseball who has more than 9 Gold Gloves, 309 home runs and 195 stolen bases -- WILLIE MAYS.

Torii Hunter was a great teammate -- a class act -- Major League Baseball loses a gem today.

It will be nice seeing him around Notre Dame a little more often!

OT: I Have Never Seen This on a Football Field

I made the trek up to Big Rapids Saturday to see the #3 ranked Ferris State Bulldogs host the #16 ranked Huskies of Michigan Tech.

Ferris won 24 - 14 to remain undefeated!

What caught me off guard was the photo above -- this is Ferris State's "standard" punt formation.  TWO PUNTERS -- one a right-footed kicker, the other a left-footed kicker.

Ferris makes the call at the line of scrimmage as to which punter will take the snap...

Maybe that school in Ann Arbor should have tried this...
