Torii Hunter Gets Diapers And A Walker From His Teammates For His 40th Birthday [PHOTOS]

We all get old -- it's inevitable. But many people believe that 40-years-old isn't really that old.

That's not what Torii Hunter's Minnesota Twins teammates believe. They went as far as to buy him adult diapers and a senior walker for his 40th on Saturday.

 

For the record, Hunter isn't even that old for baseball. The oldest position player in MLB history was Julio Franco, who played until he was 49 in 2007. But it's clear the Hunter's teammates just wanted to play a cruel, public joke on him.

Hunter has proven he can still play in his old age also -- the former Detroit Tiger is batting .259 with 14 home runs and 49 RBIs for the second-place Twins this season.
