The Great Hambino

I was speaking with the commander-in-chief of Running Down A Dream last night and we realized something very interesting about the Bambino of Arlington, Mr. Josh Hamilton. Have you heard, he once was a drug user? Seriously, have you read anything, anywhere about his past demons? Honestly, I've tried and tried to find information about these allegations, but they're nowhere to be found.

Fortunately, that is all that the ESPN and FOX announcers talked about during his at-bats last night and his awesome performance in the Home Run Derby Monday night, so now I feel up-to speed with his story.

On a serious note, I'm very happy for Josh and wish him all the best in his battle to fully recover from the past that still haunts him today. He seems like a great Christian guy and his openness and honesty about his past is both refreshing and inspiring. Hopefully he'll perform at a high level for a long enough time that he's seen as a great person who's also a very, very good baseball player.
