Huff Strikes Back on Orioles and Baltimore Just horsing around, Huff says Radio remark on city put in show's context By Roch Kubatko | Sun reporter November 11, 2007 Once word reached Aubrey Huff that comments he made during a radio appearance last week brought waves of criticism from Orioles fans, he immediately came up with a theory to explain all the unwanted attention headed his way. "It must be a slow news day," he said. In a telephone interview with The Sun yesterday, Huff said he didn't mean to disrespect the city of Baltimore or its residents when he referred to it as a "horses - -" town during Thursday's 90-minute segment with Bubba The Love Sponge on Sirius Satellite Radio. Huff's appraisal came after the discussion turned to nightlife in the Tampa, Fla., area, and how much Huff indulged in it while he was single and playing for the Devil Rays. "If anybody's heard their show, or Howard Stern's show, it's a shock jock show, so everything's flying," Huff said yesterday. "You've got four guys in there, including me, and we're talking about all sorts of stuff, including bars and restaurants, and how the two cities are different. I said Baltimore was horses - - for that. After games, places are closed down. There's no place to go." Club president Andy MacPhail said he had not heard the interview and was getting secondhand information about it. "I would say that if this was an effort at humor, it failed and was in poor taste," MacPhail said. "It would be difficult to see how anyone would approve of it." Huff spent the first 6 1/2 seasons of his big league career with the Devil Rays before they traded him to the Houston Astros on July 12, 2006. He signed a three-year, $20 million deal with the Orioles in January and rebounded from a slow start to bat .280 with 15 home runs and 72 RBIs in 151 games, mostly as the designated hitter. On June 29, he became the first Oriole to hit for the cycle in 23 years. Last week, he struck a nerve or two with fans in Baltimore. "Not one time did I trash the organization," Huff said. "I love the ballpark, the organization, the guys on the team. We had a lot of fun. I enjoyed everything about it. But when you go out ... those are the things people want to know about. If what I said is a big deal, so be it. "I said it in such passing, so quickly, and it was gone. I didn't say the city itself was horses - -. The next day, my buddy called me and said people were livid. I said, 'No way! It must be a slow news day in Baltimore.' I walked out of there saying it was a good show. I kept it pretty clean." A friend of Huff's who works on the show "asked me to come on, and I said, 'Why not?'" Huff said. "I did my best to keep my mouth clean." Unfortunately for Huff, it got him in trouble on various Internet sites with fans who reacted angrily to his description of the city. Word spread quickly the next day, with a few teammates also hearing about it. Huff said his agent called and asked, "What did you say?" "That show is an act," Huff said. "I was being an actor. The guys on the show are acting. By no means is that my personality. "If people think I offended them, I can apologize, but I didn't feel like I did anything wrong." [email protected] Ex-Devil Ray Huff Finds Hope With the Orioles By Jorge Arangure Jr. Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, March 22, 2007; Page E04 JUPITER, Fla., March 21 -- In past years, the sight of Aubrey Huff slumped in a chair in front of his locker, as he was on Wednesday morning, might have suggested he was unhappy. Such a sight was common the past few years in the Tampa Bay Devil Rays clubhouse. Huff could barely get himself to leave his house to get to the ballpark. Once the game was over, Huff rushed home. "I know the last couple of years it got really hard to go to the field every day," Huff said. "It really wore on you. It would get to the point where you'd get to the field as late as possible. You just wanted to get in there and then get out of there. It was tough. Mentally, it took a lot out of me. It took a lot out of a lot of guys." Aubrey Huff left the Devil Rays as the team's leader in games played with 799 which unfortunately means he was privy to 684 losses in his time with Tampa Bay. (Julie Jacobson - AP) ORIOLES The O's fall for the 12th time in 13 games Monday after a 9-7 loss to the Devil Rays. Temporary workers at Camden Yards will begin a hunger strike on Labor Day as they demand a living wage. Box score: Devil Rays 9, Orioles 7 CAL ENTERS THE HALL Cal Ripken Jr. speaks of family, philosophy and his duties as a role model in a 16-minute induction speech Sunday in Cooperstown, where he and Tony Gwynn are enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Boswell: Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn -- and all the fans who came to Cooperstown on Sunday -- had an emotional journey. Read the transcript of Cal Ripken Jr.'s Hall of Fame induction speech. Photos: A Legend Enshrined Video: Ripken's Five-Year Plan BASICS Roster Statistics Schedule Standings But Wednesday, Huff was simply tired. He traveled to Port St. Lucie on Tuesday night for a game against the New York Mets and then headed here early Wednesday morning for the Cardinals game. His eyes were puffy as pillows, his face drawn, and occasionally he'd let out a monstrous yawn. The truth is, Huff is having one of the most enjoyable springs of his career. "Obviously, being in spring training with the Devil Rays my whole career, it's exciting to be able to start somewhere fresh," he said. "Going into spring training knowing that you could be on a team that could be a playoff contender, I never had that in Tampa. You pretty much know that you're going to go out there and you're going to be 20 games out by the break." Only the career leader in games played for the Devil Rays (799) would sign with the Baltimore Orioles, who haven't had a winning season since 1997, because he was tired of losing. Though players such as Brian Roberts, Melvin Mora and Jay Gibbons have groaned about having lost so many games with the Orioles, none can claim seeing as many losses as Huff. Tampa Bay lost 684 games in Huff's seven seasons, compared to the 636 games lost by Baltimore in the same span. "It was just the constant losing," Huff said. "Things never changed. It seems like every year you had 50 new guys in camp and they never let the guys jell together. I don't think you can win that way. The core guys they did have were great guys. It just seemed like they wanted to stay young, young, young every year. They didn't want to bring any veteran guys in. At the same time it was probably hard to do, there weren't a lot of veteran guys that wanted to play there. It's a no-win situation there." Each of the past three seasons, Huff was rumored to be traded. Often, he heard the rumors from reporters. "Imagine how that's like playing there," Huff said. "I don't feel like I was really wanted there the last couple years I was there. It [stinks] to play in that situation, you know?" The Devil Rays traded Huff to the Houston Astros in early July 2006. Finally, Huff escaped the losing. This offseason, as a first-time free agent, Huff looked for teams he thought had a bright future. The Orioles, in his mind, fit that description. There were discussions with the Texas Rangers, but after some recruitment by Kevin Millar and Jay Gibbons, Huff decided on Baltimore. "I've been telling [hitting coach Terry Crowley] for two years we should get this guy," Gibbons said. "We do have the same agent and my agent asked me 'What do you think about Aubrey coming to Baltimore?' I said that would be awesome. Because every time I see him play, the guy can just flat-out hit." Huff has had a strong spring training, hitting .415, and has played first base and occasionally left field. Thursday, he'll make his spring debut at third base. When Huff entered the Orioles clubhouse the first time this spring he saw recognizable faces -- Roberts, Miguel Tejada, Ramon Hernandez, the type of player who never would sign with the Devil Rays. During his seven years in Tampa no one ever asked Huff to help recruit a free agent. And Huff had been asked, could he have found something nice to say? "It would be hard for a free agent guy to want to go there, especially if you played there," Huff said. "There weren't that many fans there." .
