Aubrey Huff’s Tweets Make Him Persona Non Grata At World Series Reunion

Is political correctness spoiling America’s favorite pastime? A San Francisco Giants player who was key to the team's victory in the 2010 World Series Championship is not welcome at a 10-year reunion on Aug. 16 due to his "unacceptable comments."

“Earlier this month, we reached out to Aubrey Huff to let him know that he will not be included in the upcoming 2010 World Series Championship reunion,” the Giants said in a statement. While we appreciate the many contributions that Aubrey made to the 2010 championship season, we stand by our decision.”

Those contributions included hitting .290 with 26 homers and 86 RBIs. He hit .268 in the playoffs with a homer and eight RBIs. Huff finished seventh in the NL MVP voting that year.

“Quite frankly, shocked. Disappointed. If it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t be having a reunion,” Huff told The Athletic. “But if they want to stick with their politically correct, progressive bulls–t, that’s fine.”

Huff supports Donald Trump and is also critical of women coaching Major League baseball players. Former softball player Alyssa Nakken is an assistant coach for San Francisco.

Aubrey Huff’s “unacceptable” comments include guns and women.

“Let’s get a flight over [to Iran] and kidnap about 10 each,” Huff said in a since deleted tweet he claims was a joke. “We can bring them back here as they fan us and feed us grapes, among other things . . ..”

Huff posted a picture of himself in November at a shooting range tweeting that he was teaching his kids “how to use a gun in the unlikely event @BernieSanders beats @realDonaldTrump in 2020. In which case knowing how to effectively use a gun under socialism will be a must.”

The treatment of Huff was in contrast with Major League's handling of a scandal involving Giants CEO Larry Baer. He was suspended for three months last year after a video of him knocking his wife over in a public altercation appeared.

MLB baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said he met with Baer at the time and concluded Baer’s conduct was “unacceptable under M.L.B. policies and warrants discipline,” The New York Times reported.

Since Huff was on the team, that’s all that should matter for the reunion, according to David Hookstead of the DailyCaller.

“Who gives a damn about tweets?” Hookstead asked. “This is America, and more importantly this is sports. When you are a member of a team, nobody asks who you voted for when you’re making plays.”
