During Orioles FanFest, pitcher Tommy Hunter spoke with the media for a few minutes, and I’ll say that he’s one of the funnier, candid and more laid back athletes I’ve met on the team.

It was certainly a delight to interview him, and he seemed very much ready for camp to open up towards the middle of this month.
