What an amazing game yesterday featuring Texas Rangers star Josh Hamilton. Hamilton had a spectacular and historic game yesterday against the Baltimore Orioles. He went 5-5 with 4 home runs in the game. Did I mention this has only happened 16 times in over 100 years in baseball history. We probably won't see this for another 10-15 years. This article isn't just about the 4 home runs. It's about how a man rose from the bottom and I mean the bottom. With hard times that he faced in the early 2000's after he was drafted in 1999 by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Substance abuse held his young career back from the star that he is today. He is the best and I mean the best player in the MLB by far. This is a feel good story to see how far he has come back to get his life back in order and become an MVP of the American League. Just when many people counted him out. Not just as a player but as a human being. His choice of drug was crack cocaine. We all know that drug has taken many lives and even some loved ones, but it's just to show you there is something more powerful in our lives than us. Good for you Josh Hamilton. Just to show you anything is possible with hard work and dedication.
