Hunter's got his mind on the 2012 London Games. Watch out Phelps!

Torii Hunter put on goggles, got on the clubhouse floor and began doing the butterfly and backstroke in a puddle of beer and champagne.

I’ll put him at 15 years old. Photo after the jump gives a better prospective. What’s your guess?
