July 16, 200818 yr http://www.bugsandcranks.com/the-clubhouse/andy-lenartz/i-hate-to-interrupt-your-josh-hamilton-lovefest-but/ Intresting take on Hamilton. Just another jealous, ex-little leaguer, who never got off the bench on his High School Team.
July 16, 200818 yr Author People only want to focus on one part of the story, how he overcame his addiction. Isn't the first half of the story where he became a selfish crack-head just as viable? :thumb: Let's all praise a guy for finally deciding to follow the law...:lol:
July 16, 200818 yr Just another jealous, ex-little leaguer, who never got off the bench on his High School Team. So whoever doesn't kiss the ground that Hamilton walks on is jealous? Hysterical. But not of every other pro athlete? Could the same be said for those who dislike Bonds? Dunn? Clemens? Surely, you jest...
July 16, 200818 yr Some crack addicts die,some crack addicts go to jail,some crack addicts stay on crack and some crack addicts get off crack and live productive lives. Hamilton is nothing new when it comes to crack addicts. It is really not the story. The enormity of his story is that with practically no minor league experience and absolutely no major league experience, Hamilton, in a year and a half has become arguably the best player in MLB. That's the story.
July 16, 200818 yr http://www.bugsandcranks.com/the-clubhouse/andy-lenartz/i-hate-to-interrupt-your-josh-hamilton-lovefest-but/ Intresting take on Hamilton. Why bring Favre into it?
July 16, 200818 yr So whoever doesn't kiss the ground that Hamilton walks on is jealous? Hysterical. But not of every other pro athlete? Could the same be said for those who dislike Bonds? Dunn? Clemens? Surely, you jest... Yes, all of American who doesn't get caught up in the Hamilton gaga is jealous. I am not jealous of former prodigy who turned his life to crack.. Not one bit..
July 16, 200818 yr Maybe I'm different, I don't compare them at all. What he did was wrong, selfish, and he has turned it around. He is trying to be a good person, but yes, there is a very small % of those who are VERY jealous. "My opinion"

That's the story. Hamilton was baseball's next big thing when he was drafted. Minus crack and IMO this same surge happens years ago.

He is trying to be a good person, but yes, there is a very small % of those who are VERY jealous. "My opinion" Since he stopped doing drugs, he's trying to be a good person? Or is it that he's trying not to die in a sewer and is making $$$$$?
July 16, 200818 yr Hamilton was baseball's next big thing when he was drafted. Minus crack and IMO the same outcome happens years ago.Isn't that, what makes his story so much more intriguing. He was projected to have potential, fell into the sewer and is getting his life back on track. The All-Star event, has even added to his notoriety,
July 16, 200818 yr I get the story, no one doesn't get the story... But frankly, that doesn't explain why everyone is acting like he's number two to the pope... The media has driven that. My head was hurting after the past two nights with the way those idiots carried on. Doesn't mean I have to dislike Hamilton because of it though.
July 16, 200818 yr Hamilton was baseball's next big thing when he was drafted. Minus crack and IMO this same surge happens years ago. You mean he would have skipped the minors and been the best in baseball halfway through his 2nd season? Wow, how many guys have done that?
July 17, 200818 yr You mean he would have skipped the minors and been the best in baseball halfway through his 2nd season? Wow, how many guys have done that? So instead, he became a drug addict for a few years. Great guy...
