The San Francisco Giants have told Aubrey Huff, a key member of their 2010 World Series championship team, that he will not be welcomed back for a 10-year anniversary reunion at Oracle Park this season.
The Athletic’s Steve Berman and Dan Brown were first to report the story Monday night, and the Giants released a statement confirming the decision. The Giants attributed not inviting Huff to a series of sexist and vulgar social-media posts.
“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 sent to the Chronicle and the Athletic. “Aubrey has made multiple comments on social media that are unacceptable and run counter to the values of our organization. While we appreciate the many contributions that Aubrey made to the 2010 championship season, we stand by our decision.”
When reached by The Athletic for comment, Huff reportedly said he was "Quite frankly, shocked. Disappointed. If it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t be having a reunion. But if they want to stick with their politically correct, progressive bullsh*t, that’s fine."
Huff has often posted his conservative, pro-Trump views on Twitter in the years since retiring after the 2012 season. But he appeared to advocate the kidnapping of Iranian women in January when tensions flared with the country, tweeting, “we can bring them back here as they fan us and feed us grapes, among other things."

Screw woke sports.
The team from the city of Poo.
I would suggest a secondary ‘day’ at the park for reunion day....making it ‘HUFF-Day’, and just wear T-shirts with ‘Huff-This’ as part of the festive nature of the day...naturally while wearing a MAGA hat.
Man,are we getting closer to a Civil war or what. We’re not going to change so if these commies want to snuff us out and quash our beliefs,they better eat their Wheaties cause I’d rather go out in a hail of gunfire and beer bottles than give in to these Godless sumbiches.
There goes baseball, unless the rest of the league does something , this will spread like the corona
Start a social media campaign. #HUFFDAY
The Land of Perverts and Poop bans a conservative pro-Trump former baseball player. How surprising.
Wait....what happened to diversity and inclusiveness where all beliefs are held in equal value and esteem????
Seriously, you are there to celebrate what? And you make a political statement saying you don’t want political statements ,, hahaha they can see they are acting in reverse at all ,, totally oblivious , they just go right along with it
You want to die in a hail of gunfire over a baseball player not being invited to an event?
Snap out of it!
The leadership of pro sports is as corrupt, inept, and without morals as the Democrats are. Oh, forgot......
Hopefully President Trump does something for his 10-year anniversary by himself and his family.
They “reached out” to Huff...to tell him he’s not welcome.
It’s funny to hear that as “to reach out” in a communicative sense once had warm, fuzzy overtones. Now it’s no different from the communicative definition of “contact/contacted.”
No,I don’t want to die just for a ball player being blacklisted but it’s a combination of all the incidents that are continually being perpetrated by the left. It will culminate with them going too far someday. Then I will gladly go out in a hail of gunfire and beer bottles. Won’t you? If not,I’m sorry for you.
Said organization,of course,being located in San Fransicko,home of scores of so called "bath houses" as well as the "I think I'll take a dump right here on the sidewalk" environmental movement (pun most assuredly intended).
1st of all I won’t gladly go out in a hail of gunfire. I’d rather survive no matter what the battle is for.
Secondly, I know you meant it is a combination of things, and you still need to snap out of it.
Amen! I’m glad I’m not the only person who can’t stand that wordy expression. Clear and concise communication has become a lost art.
