The San Francisco Giants said Monday that they won’t invite Aubrey Huff to a reunion of the 2010 World Series-winning team this summer because of “unacceptable” comments made by Huff on social media.
Huff, 43, played first base and outfield on the 2010 team and retired after the 2012 season.
He played the final three seasons of his 13-year career with the Giants. In 2010, he played in 157 games, hitting .290 with 26 homers and 86 RBIs. The reunion is scheduled for Aug. 16.
In November, Huff posted a tweet containing a picture of him holding a shooting target with holes. The caption on the post said in part that he was “getting my boys trained up on how to use a gun in the unlikely event @BernieSanders beats @realDonaldTrump in 2020.”
In January, he posted a since-deleted tweet about kidnapping Iranian women so “we can bring them back here as they fan us and feed us grapes.” He later tweeted that his post was a joke.
The Giants issued a statement, Huff has responded.
