Herbert Harrison Hunter (December 25, 1895 – July 25, 1970) was a utility infielder–outfielder in Major League Baseball who played parts of four seasons between {{Baseball year|1916}} and {{Baseball year|1921}}. Listed at {{height|ft=6|in=0.5}}, 165 lb., Hunter batted left-handed and threw right-handed. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts.

Early career

After making his debut for the New York Giants in 1916, Hunter was soon traded by the Giants, along with Larry Doyle and Merwin Jacobson, to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Heinie Zimmerman and Mickey Doolan. He played two games with the Cubs in 1916 and another three in {{Baseball year|1917}}. During World War I, Hunter served in the United States Navy, missing both the {{Baseball year|1918}} and {{Baseball year|1919}} seasons.

Post-World War I

After the war, Hunter surfaced for another brief major league stint in {{Baseball year|1920}}, this time for the Boston Red Sox. Later that year, Hunter organized a team of minor and major league players to go on a barnstorming tour of Japan, the first of three such trips he would put together.

In {{Baseball year|1921}}, Hunter made his last big league appearance, a nine-game stint with the St. Louis Cardinals during which he served mostly as a pinch runner (though not a very successful one, as he was caught on all three of his stolen base attempts).

Minor leagues and more touring

His major league career over, Hunter put together another barnstorming tour of Japan in {{Baseball year|1922}}, this time with a larger contingent of major league players. Hunter continued to play in the minor leagues through {{Baseball year|1929}}. Then, in {{Baseball year|1931}}, he put together one more tour of Japan, and this time the roster was much more impressive, featuring several future Hall of Famers, including Lefty Grove, Lou Gehrig, and Mickey Cochrane.

Post-baseball life

Financial concerns caused Hunter to get out of the touring team business, turning things over to Lefty O'Doul for future endeavors. After again serving in the U.S. Navy in World War II, Hunter moved to Orlando, Florida, going into the real estate business. He died there in 1970 at the age of 74.
