I can only imagine what it’s like  being a big time professional athlete and then turning around to see your own child blaze his path in a sport. The Hunter family of major league glory has entered that fray, except this Hunter is not playing baseball.

USA Today is reporting that Torii Hunter Jr., son of Los Angeles Angels star Torii Hunter has committed to play football at Notre Dame. Jr. is a 6-foot 172 pound senior from Prosper, Texas.

Reports state that Hunter committed after watching the Irish defeat Michigan 13-6 this past Saturday.  Hunter Jr. was in attendance for that game. Hunter was also being recruited by Arizona State, Utah and Nebraska.

Sr. sent out a congratulatory tweet Sunday as a proud father.

Congrats to my son @thunterjr for his commitment to Notre Dame to play football and baseball. #proudpapa

The Angels are Creating Outs in September

Via Fangraphs  |  September 25, 2012
I was previewing the Angels and Mariners series that began on Tuesday, kicking off the final nine games of the season for both teams, when I noticed how well the Angels ranked in my metrics. That the Angels are good is no surprise, but the magnitude to which they had improved since they last played the Mariners at the beginning of September caught my notice. Since that last preview...

Angels win to stay in wild-card hunt

The way things are going for the Los Angeles Angels, it's difficult for Jered Weaver to focus on the fact that he is one victory away from his first 20-win season in the majors. Then again, the only reason the Angels still have a shot at a postseason berth is because their ace keeps winning. Weaver kept them within striking distance in the AL wild-card chase, posting his league...

ANAHEIM, Calif. After coming so far and playing so well down the stretch, it's almost a shame that the Angels' fate is not in their own hands. They've become scoreboard watchers, attentive not only to their games but also to the daily fortunes of the Oakland A's and Baltimore Orioles. A win isn't a win unless the A's or Orioles lose, too. But that's...
