I can't figure out what's not to like, or at least respect, about Josh Hamilton. Here's a guy who obviously made catastrophically bad decisions in his life, which he acknowledges, and had certainly hit rock bottom. Somehow, someway he managed to get his life back on track and made it all the way back to near the top. I personally believe he truly appreciates this second opportunity life has given him. I really believe that he believes he wasn't capable of getting back to this point without help from a "higher power". He acknowledges that power in the best, if not most polished, manner he knows. I realize the media and those who are non christians are not fond of christian athletes speaking of their faith, that I don't agree with but I do understand.

 

If he has other major issues that another poster referred to, I would be interested in the specifics. Believer or non believer, I certainly prefer Hamiltons behavior to those athletes who use foul language, PED's, show abundant arrogance, etc.

 

I think Hamilton has become a breath of fresh air during a difficult time for baseball.:thumb:

 

 

You know Hamilton doesn't use foul language how?

 

He is not well liked, or I should say wasn't well liked by many within the Reds organization, due to his behavior towards his peers. He puts off a fron to the media that he's a great person, but it just isn't the real Josh Hamilton.

I like the guy. Great story overcoming addiction. If he's a fake, I'll let the man upstairs judge him.

And you know this how?

 

Media reports said that the veterans on the Reds felt like he got preferential treatment with the "babysitter". Perhaps it was the others who were the issue. Haven't heard a peep out of the Rangers with any disgruntled teammates.

We've been over all this in the past, and I don't feel like rehashing everything, but I am 100% confident that my information is more accurate than anyone else's on here regarding Hamilton.

 

You all can continue to admire and look up to him all you want, but forgive me if I could care less about the guy.

I'm glad you're confident. Still haven't heard a peep out of Arlington about the awful teammate Josh Hamilton.

I don't know the story here, but I would hazard a guess that part of the reason he wasn't liked was because he is a christian who shares his faith.

 

If there's one thing people in the world hate more than anything, it's that.

 

Josh Hamilton may have had a rough past, most of which he brought on his self. But knowing my own sins and my own faults he was probably 10 times the person then, that I am now.

Don't be so quick to pass judgement even from the most reliable source. I would say the only true reliable source didn't audibly speak to you about Josh Hamilton.

 

It's not our place to judge another christian, it's for the Sovereign One to.

Sigh..

 

You just RUINED my point lol.

:thumb:There is not one player I dislike more than Josh Hamilton in the MLB... I think he's completely fake.

 

WOW!!! Thats is very sad then.

WOW!!! Thats is very sad then.

 

How is it sad? I don't know if he's a terrible person, and I'm not saying he is. He comes off as fake to me, and I think he sold out his teammates in Cincinnati. There's some people in sports that we dislike. Its not a personal, "I hope horrible things happen to you, and I think you're an awful person" hatred. Hamilton rubs me the wrong way, and I don't like him. Darfur's sad. This? This isn't sad.
