The Giants have told Aubrey Huff, the starting first baseman on that team, that he is not welcome at the ballpark when they celebrate the 2010 championship.

The Athletic first reported Monday that Huff would not be included, and the 43-year-old told the website that he was "shocked" and "disappointed" by the decision.

"If it wasn't for me, they wouldn't be having a reunion," Huff told The Athletic. "But if they want to stick with their politically correct, progressive b------t, that's fine."

In November, Huff tweeted a photo from a gun range with the caption "Getting my boys trained up on how to use a gun in the unlikely event" that Bernie Sanders beats Donald Trump in the 2020 election. In January, he tweeted about taking a flight to Iran to "kidnap about 10" women, writing "bring them back here as they fan us and feed us grapes, amongst other things."

"Former MLB player Aubrey Huff revealed in an interview with ESPN's Buster Olney that he became addicted to Adderall late in his career and contemplated suicide after suffering from anxiety and depression.

"In 2014, I found myself in my closet, on my knees, with a .357 Magnum, hammer pulled back, staring at myself in the mirror..." he said in the interview (h/t Bryan Mcwilliam of The Score). "I was ready to pull the trigger. This was a low-low point in my life. I had hit rock bottom at that moment."

Huff revealed in the interview that he first started taking Adderall in 2009 after it was introduced to him by one of his Baltimore Orioles teammates. He took it to deal with a hangover and was drinking daily at that time in his life, and was instantly hooked on the prescription medication."
