A 12-year MLB journey across five teams began with him becoming the first Mets All-Star and runner-up for Rookie of the Year in 1963. With the Expos, he set a modern-era record with 50 HBP in a season — later revealed to be second all-time — and led the NL in HBP for seven straight years, retiring with 243. He didn’t just survive the pitch — he weaponized it, standing so close to the plate that pitchers couldn’t throw inside without contact. “I gave my body to baseball,” he said — a mantra that fueled his career and sparked chaos, including a 1971 brawl where he was the only player ejected. Hunt’s fearless style earned him a spot in the Expos Hall of Fame and cemented his place as one of baseball’s most unforgettable hitters.
