New voice on @espnktgramfm along side Tex Little for Tiger Baseball! @hminliberty our new color man... Welcome back Hunter!

Hunter has been tweeting over the past couple of weeks about being back in Columbia and getting ready to return to classes at MU.

Mense played for the Tigers from 2004-2006 before being drafted by the Florida Marlins organization. He spent 4-1/2 years in the Marlins' minor leagues. He racked up the frequent flyer miles for the Florida Marlins organization in 2010:

• April 8-21: Jupiter Hammerheads (Single-A)
• April 22-May 15: New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA)
• May 16-26: Jacksonville Suns (AA)
• May 27-31: New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA)
• June 1-4: Jacksonville Suns (AA)
• June 5-7: New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA)
• June 8: Jacksonville Suns (AA)
• June 9-July 12: Jupiter Hammerheads (A)

In his own words: I've been everywhere, man (The Life and Time of Aitch)

After July 12th, though, the road trip ended, as the Marlins gave him his release.

And then his season got really interesting.

On July 28th, outfielder Hunter Mense signed with the Kansas City T-Bones of the independent Northern League . . . as a Left-handed Pitcher. He pitched a total of 9 innings in 8 appearances, racking up a 3.00 ERA.

And now he's back in Columbia and ready to take on the task of carrying Tex Little's luggage.

Glad to have you back, Hunter!
