Playing at the Angels' cozy Wrigley Field home park in, Hunt bashed 25 home runs and knocked in 84 RBI in 149 games played — one of five Angels to crack the 20 home run mark in their maiden American League season.

When his wife, Sherry, returned home later that evening, she found Ken dead from a heart attack. He was 62 years old.Hunt is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Fargo, North Dakota several feet away from Roger Maris, briefly his teammate on the 1960 Yankees.
