Josh Hamilton

[Mister Falcon]

Holy ****.

 

[TexanByChoice]

One of the most impressive shows I have ever seen.

 

[LovinTheAtx]

I'm in awe. That was amazing.

I heart him.

 

[NB_LONGHORN]

that was nuts. he even had a-hole yankee fans cheering for him. it was funny when they booed ortiz though.

 

[Eating Club]

Josh Hamilton is proof God exists.

 

[LonghornAnth]

That was the coolest thing to watch. Im so proud that guy is a ranger. What a great story. Outstanding!!

 

[Barton Hills]

Filthy ... just filthy.

 

[killerfrog17]

This is epic. I just hope he isn't tired out. Gotta win this now.

 

[BA93]

39 career HRs, 28 in the 1st round of the derby. He will walk into the finals, but will he have enough in the tank.

 

[Bevo-Stevo]

That was awesome.

 

[txfight84]

unless morneau hits 15 more HR's with 2 outs left...Hamilton is in the finals...without having to take a swing in the 2nd round...

 

[Bob in Houston]

How did the Astros ever get him out?

 

[ngnichols]

Best player in baseball, PERIOD.

A-Rod, eat your heart out.

 

[BA93]

thats a shame. This HR derby will be remembered for his 1st round not that he lost.

 

[killerfrog17]

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[badexcuse]

Believe me, this Derby will be remembered forever for the show Hamilton put on, not Morneau.

 

[Ramathorn]

Truly an inspirational story.

 

[hookem2003]

This is a shot across the bow for the rest of the MLB: The Rangers are about to be real good for a while, and this son of a ***** is leading the charge.

Just incredible.

 

[Ramathorn]

Will he stay a Ranger?

 

[hookem2003]

Damn straight he'll stay a Ranger. He's under contract (at nearly league minimum) for another 4 years. He and the team are already in discussions about a long-term extension.

 

[Horn@AC]

Amazing story, I don't think any baseball fan can say they honestly don't root for him. For us Rangers fan it is such a pleasure to watch him day after day.

 

[Ignatius]

After 30 years, it's not often you get to say this:

**** your team. I'm a Rangers fan...

 

[Horn69]

Go Rangers!
The Link

Hook'em!!!

 

[jmann09]

if only this team had pitching!!

seriously though, watching film of josh, milton, ian, michael (and i think hurley) slip-n-sliding at shea stadium was one of my favorite baseball moments, and it didn't even happen in a game. these guys are awesome, and josh just puts out good vibes for everyone. i hope to God he keeps it up and wins the mvp, and more importantly that he's a ranger for life

 

[Beau Vine]

Given the game's remarkable history, it seems pretty idiotic to say that a stupid home run derby was one of the greatest things I've ever seen, but when you consider Hamilton's story, and you consider that he's hitting off a 71-year-old small-town baseball lifer to thank him for his years and years of service to his community, well... THAT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN.

What i think is most unbelievable, was not only the 28 jacks but how far each of them went. It is not like they were just skiming the outfield wall. they were soaring out of there. very impressive.

 

[Texanne]

I <3 Josh Hamilton. He's an inspiration to everyone who thinks they cannot slay their personal dragons.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Even Derek Jeter knows how bad *** he is.

Seriously, I think I love him.
