From 1912 to 1924, Hunt worked in the newspaper industry in New Jersey. In 1921, he played a role in the first ever radio broadcast of the World Series. Hunt was on site at the Polo Grounds and relayed the plays over telephone to engineer Thomas Cowan, who would then repeat them over the radio. From 1924 to 1940, Hunt lived in Santa Cruz, California, where he operated a fruit farm. In 1940, he returned to New Jersey and became an associate editor and board member of The Newark Sunday Call.
