Hunter teaches teammates to keep their eyes on the balls.

Just please don't teach them how to choke up:

"What did Torii Hunter do after arguably the Twins' worst game of the year? Grab a bat and helmet -- and head for the shower.

The outfielder, with encouragement from catcher Mike Redmond, stripped down to his socks, put on the helmet, grabbed the bat and walked into the shower. ...

So he went into the shower, swinging a bat and making teammates scramble. Still lacking clothes, he then marched down to the coaches room to ask for extra batting practice. ...

Redmond once took batting practice naked while with Florida in order to keep things loose. On Thursday, he offered to pitch to Hunter, naked.

'Whatever it takes,' Redmond said."
