While his career statistics may only depict Hunter as an average ballplayer, in Konami's Bottom of the 9th which was released on the Sega Saturn, PlayStation, and Nintendo 64, he was by far the best player for the Detroit Tigers, making every possible defensive play and hitting for slap singles every time at bat.
