Hunt played in 12 big league seasons as a prototypical old-school scrappy guy. He didn&rsquo;t have much power but was difficult to strike out and got on base by intentionally getting hit by pitches with regularity. &ldquo;Some folks give their bodies to science,&rdquo; he once said. &ldquo;I gave mine to baseball.&rdquo;<br />
A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Hunt was signed out of high school by the Milwaukee Brave]]></description><link>https://www.newslocker.com/en-us/sport/new-york-mets/ron-hunt-passes-away/</link><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jul 2026 22:44:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://www.newslocker.com/en-us/sport/new-york-mets/ron-hunt-passes-away/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mets To Begin Fielding Offers For Deadline Sell-Off]]></title><description><![CDATA[The deadline sale in Queens appears to be underway.
