He didn't miss this being a 5 homer game by much. That double was smoked.
yeah, only if he waited on it a little longer.
EGO is our Demise didn't quite get under it enough. Closest somebody has ever gotten to 5 homers
@@BaseballHeadquarters Mike Cameron nearly hit 5 hrs once....
his last AB in the previous game was HR, too
That would have begun insane 6 straight at bats and 6 homers (he homered last at bat the night before)
Elvis Andrus was on base every time he homered
WesleyAPEX coz Elvis was not on base that time. So he decided to settle w only a double, lmao.
I see you videos
WesleyAPEX bruh i clicked off ur 9th inning comeback video to watch this one 😂
The rangers line up was golden back then. They’d have Andrea get on Base then have Hamilton either drive him in or get on base too then have Beltre drive them both in if they were both on base
and it’s weird how they showed no chemistry even on the 4th home run just a simple quick high five and a blank stare
Man those 49 fans at the game really witnessed something amazing
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Let us pray for the guy who had Hamilton on the bench that week in fantasy baseball.
Fantasy oh no
🤦♂️
i had both him and andrus for this game lmao. in some '12 yahoo fantasy league
I’m fucking dead
I had him started in a head to head league that week. Good memories.
Let's all take a moment to realize that this was against Jake Arrieta.
+Daniel Orioles Jake Arrieta, he was not good in Baltimore.
honestly when I saw Arrietas numbers on the Cubs I had to double check if this was the same one. arrieta sure has changed
+Daniel He didn't have the beard, that's his source of power.
+Daniel lol he just had another No no too. its a shame that we have to wonder how great of a career Hamilton would have had if he had just stayed clean
Sal Martinez what no no did he just have?
Now that's love for the game; opposing team fans give a stand up applause.
Will Ferrell They did that when the Rangers put 30 runs up on them in 2007 too, lol.
I understand that but thats another reason in part the sux....theres no excitement ...baseball is hella boring....
+David Marino What you just said makes no fucking sense.
I meant theres no competiveness...its like watever ...my team is losing 3-0 and u see me laughing and joking in the back....thats not cool...its pretty lame....im not saying get angry and get into fights...but for ex...look at football or soccer...its more about winning and wanting ur team to win and ACTUALLY WATCHING THE SPORT AND EVERY PLAY...rather than going to a sporting event to sit and bullshit....aside from the fact baseball is boring there is no exicetement or intensity ouside the field either....no respect
I meant to say....i didnt mean any disrespect
This is the greatest individual hitting performance of all time
Hr derby
Mike Schmidt 1976 4 homers starting in the 5th inning...
Shawn Green against the Brewers
I love Josh. He was first ballot Hall of Fame talent. Damn that addiction.
Like bo Jackson, here and gone in the blink of an eye. Unlike Jackson, Hamilton did it to himself.
Mickey Mantle gets a pass huh, lots of drunk/coke heads in HOF. He wouldn't have changed a thing deep down, the ups were euphoric.
4 2-run homeruns, with the same player on base all 4 times???
You can't script this stuff if you tried!!!
they do script it, it's called the batting order
+syruplease :)
Andrus bought Hamilton 4 beers that night. 1 beer for every Run that’s gonna be on his baseball card next year.
Incredible talent, only Josh can stop Josh.
+Armand Rodriguez Or his body...
+DownrightCynical yes, that's what he's saying.
Yup, it's a shame but he did.
Cocaine can stop him too
먹는샘물 What do you two dipshits think “only Josh can stop Josh” means?
This era in ranger's baseball was the best time to watch baseball. It was glorious and felt like it went on forever.
I'm a White Sox fan, but damn -- that was exciting, talented, and fun team to watch.
I was a big fan, like many others.
100%, this era made me a rangers fan to this day. loved EA beltre and josh. only if those teams had decent pitching lol
What about this year? 🏆
2023 was a pretty fun year as well..
Dude came within like 20 feet of hitting 5 HRs in a game and 6 consecutive HRs, both of which have been considered impossible feats for a long time.
And I was there on a lark. Some friends said, "Hey, no Nats game tonight. Let's just go to Baltimore for fun."
Then I saw this. And I'm an Angels fan.
Lucky bastard, lol
lol
Great story .. yawn
So frickin dope. Sounds like a good time mate.
@@Ritzi66lmao
Almost 5 home runs
ya
This will be the closest any man comes to 5 in a game. The double had too much top spin to get out of the park, but could have if he'd hit it a little more square. Double was close. And don't forget, the previous game Josh had ended his night 3-4 with his last AB resulting in a HR the 9th inning of the last game. He was 6-6 with 5 HR in that game + prior AB. That's why the Manager Showalter of the Oriels said "Hamilton went berserk!"
@@paysonfox88 Mike Cameron was closer... 5th at bat hit it to the warning track.
He had one of the best swings. So smooth.
Is anybody else on an MLB montage of videos? lol!
likewise bra
I'm there bra
yep here i am
my bra doesnt fit
why not bra?
Oh man, I miss Hamilton. 200 Hrs in just 9 yrs. He had hof potencial.
Totally did. Imagine him without the dope. Probably would have came close to griffey-esque
And a few of those years he missed a lot of games due to injuries. He averaged only 114 games per season.
This man just did something that most players can only do in a video game and acted like he was there before. No bat flipping, no circus theatrics, just straight up bombs and jogging round the bases like a true pro.
Miss when baseball was more like this.
Shut up old man, go watch golf
Josh Hamilton is probably one of the biggest tragedies in modern baseball, and he didn’t even die.
nah bra the man got paid
@@1yungez drugs
Modern sports
Addiction is a horrible disease. Lost my mom to it.
@@GiDD504 very sorry to hear that 😭, you know well the pain and sorrow drugs bring. May God bless you and fill your whole life with success
Josh Hamilton was absolutely incredible at the height of his prime. He had some of the best raw power I’ve ever witnessed on the baseball diamond.
What a life he has had. The ups and downs. Hopefully he finds a path that he can stay on that keeps him well. All the best, 32. North Carolina loves you.
Idiot
"How bout another? To center field... number four! Josh Hamilton, on an unstoppable tear in Baltimore"
One of the greatest calls of all time.
Dude increased his season homers by 40% in 3 hours
Those were some amazing years for the Rangers.
Man that place is packed
I laughed at this comment for like 10 mins
Tyler Dokis gotta be at least 20 people there
Its packed by Camden Yards standards
If he hadn’t battled so many demons early on in his career I really think he’d be on the top 10 all time home runs list. His swing was effortless yet heavy and beautiful. Reminds me of Griffey. Moving to LA was not good for him mentally and he fell off from his Rangers days, but he had one of the best short stretches of all time.
his swing was so pure, if he got decent contact at all the ball was always smoked. really miss josh and hope he is doing well today.
The John Daly of baseball and that's a good thing. Forever loved!
So many haters on here, it's sad. Josh Hamilton was a once in a lifetime kind of athlete. It's to bad drugs ruined him, I recommend reading his auto biography about his life as some of his stories will blow you away.
^^^^^
I really wanted him to stay sober. He never should've left Texas, he probably would've lasted longer. Now he's not even eligible for the hall of fame so there isn't even that debate.
Yeah, his book is good, I read it.
I always rooted hard for Hamilton to stay on the rails. He was one of the great prospects anyone had ever seen
Yup, I literally have read it 12x, as my story is eerily similar...minus the whole #1 pick & all lol But ya, he was definitely an idol of mine, got to meet him, super humble, but addiction is the devil & once it has you there is nothing harder than to escape it's grips...
Imagine Hamiltons career if he was never a junkie🤯
Would've been awesome. Sad how things went.
diego reyes Seriously. Such a great hitter, but fell to his demons. He may have been a little nuts, since he claimed God came up to him one day and forced him to retire.
Now he's being indicted on felony battery agaisnt his daughter.
Drug addiction is not something to laugh at or use as an insult.
Nick he literally beat his daughter that’s a junkie
This is the definition of "in the zone." When he's rounding the bases after his 5th hit, and FOURTH homer of the game, I can't even begin to imagine what that feeling is like. I hope he gets well.
still wasnt as good as meth apparently
I like how he never hot-dogged for a second on any of the homers. Waited till he was in the dugout to enjoy it. I can dig that. Something like the olden times.
At the height of his talent, which was a few short years, there were very few in history who could match him.
it doesn't matter who's pitching,it takes skill and power to do what Hamilton did.
In his prime, Josh was Mickey Mantle for a couple of years. As a long time, die hard Ranger fan, it's always been a pleasure to watch him play. His failures are well chronicled, but so should his successes.
I remember watching that game....Man!...Josh was my favorite player ever, you don't know how i used to look up to him.
Truly he was a once in a lifetime athlete.
Same man, too bad he was ruined by drugs.
i was watching this on tv for the entire time. when he hit the fourth i got chills
I think its safe to say that he was "dialed in".
He always had such a pretty swing. Shame baseball never got to see all of what Hamilton had to offer
C.J wilson came by my high school to throw a bullpen. We asked him who the best player hes ever seen was. He said trout was great because he was consistent but hamilton was the most gifted and astonishing player he’d ever seen. He said Hamilton did things no other player could come close to doing. He talked about josh with such reverence. Pray the man lives a clean life...
If only Elvis was on base when he hit the double then josh would've hit another homer dammit Elvis!!
I remember watching this game. Hamilton could have been HOF if it weren’t for his off-field issues.
He recently beat up his daughter.
Didn’t he do roids
@@jacksonvinson9795 it was never confirmed
Click bait Central I know he had issues with alcohol and cocaine tho
Master Yoda nah I don’t think so... he never got noticeably bigger and he never tested positive. Although he has problems with cocaine and other drugs but idrk if u can call that a performance enhancer.
If not for his struggle with drugs which beat up his body and led to injuries, there is no doubt he would be top 10 of all time
yeah it is sad
no doubt it's terrible
🌿 or 💉 drugs?
+Jahsua Jenkins recreational, cocaine i believe
Hall of famer? Yes. Top 10? Not even close.
One of my favorite swings of all time
Classy Orioles fans.
all 10 of them
Idontkno yea theyre averaging 29,100 this year with 1.283 mil in only 44 games so dont know what you're talking about. Also at the 2012 ALDS they registered one of the highest decibel levels ever recorded at a sports event
jon11565 Yeah because Orioles fans are all fairweather fans. Aside from the 10 fans that actually care about the game, they only exist when the orioles are doing well and don't know jack shit about the game. Worst fans in baseball by far, just a bunch of drunk stupid football fans
IntelligentTrees2
hate to break it to ya, but all fans are fairweather fans. Except for cubbies fans, they're truly loyal.
I always respected the Orioles fans. Everytime my dad and I catch a Yankee game at Camden yards they always seem to welcome you and have fun with you even if you're a Yankee fan. It's cool
I remember I was eating at Chuy's in Fort Worth when this game was taking place. I'll never forget it.
+Zach Johnson thats a good day in DFW right there!
i wish i could go back in time
Wow. This was off Jake Arrieta.
He sucked pretty much every year until the Cubs picked him up
14-5
2.55 ERA
We should all suck that hard.
+Spence B how does he suck lmao
in 2012 he was 3-9 with a 6.20 era... Don't deny it he was horrible that year
Two hrs were off him, NOT all 4 of them
I was at this game! Stationed at Ft Meade. Decked out in my Rangers gear! My buddy is a huge O's fan and left after the third HR haha
He was ice cold every time he rounded the bases, I love this guy, wish the best for him
Very professional not like today's kids.
Can we all appreciate how beautiful that swing is. Effortless
Oh yea, he was a free swinger too.
Lol no he wasnt. He walked a ton and had a good eye. .300 career hitter.
I don't think the Orioles wanna host the Texas Rangers ever again.
After this game and the 30-3
They scored 30 runs on them twice. Oh man. I shouldn't be laughing though I'm a yankee fan lol
***** The Orioles are always in games like that. In 1987, they gave up a major league record 10 homers to the Blue Jays in an 18-3 loss.
Interestingly, in the 1987 game vs Toronto, the 2007 Game vs Texas, and this one, they score 3 runs in each.
also gave up 12 runs in the first inning to the yankees a few years ago
Haha so true man.
Great thing there were so many people there to see it.
The attitude and guts that come up from the repeated hardships are wonderful.
I was born in a country of Japan that does not tolerate a single failure, and I feel a sense of breathlessness. Encourage you, I will move forward with my beloved family. Congratulations on entering the Ranges Hall of Fame.🎉🎉🎉
Could've been a five homer game, that double he hit was crushed he just hit it too low to the ground. Hamilton by far was the best hitter back then, too bad drugs killed his body and performance
Oh really? How many Triple Crowns did he win in 2012 ;)
True forgot about miggy my bad lol
That's True Man!
HE NEVER TOOK DRUGS YOU IDIOT THAT WAS A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY
pats4lifebb actually he did, he admitted it.
If this would happen anywhere, it's Camden Yards
Most beautiful swing in the history of the game
What smooth sweet sweet swing Hamilton had
One of the greatest natural talents ever.
Remember watching that game. Was blown away and still am. And sad that Josh couldn't outrun himself. What's even more shocking...Jake Arrieta is now one of the best pitchers in the game.
Probably THE best. He's giving Kershaw a go right now. Hamels is also looking amazing.
+Cloud It's funny you say that, Kershaws actually has been as good as Arrieta. They've put their stats side by side over Arrietas no loss run. Only real difference is Arrieta has 2 no-hitters.
They're certainly both killing it. I guess I was just giving Kershaw the benefit of the doubt since he had the longer run of success. Glad for him (Jake) as a fellow Plano East grad but it blows me away looking back on this. How far he's come...
+Mason Carroll Steroids can do magical things, just kidding. He's definitely come a long way. Hopefully he can keep it up, we don't need another Lincecum.
Yeah, Arrieta and Kershaw are on a level above the rest. I'd put guys like King Felix, Yu Darvish, Stephen Strasburg, MadBum and Chris Sale right underneath those two.
My favorite player of all time. The sound the ball made off his bat was special.
This was the greatest one game hitting performance I ever witnessed before or since
You know... at that time, I thought Ham was the best player alive. Too bad his head got screwed on backwards. Still, I remember that game well... and Baltimore fans moved way up on my list. That was very classy to give him a standing-O
Any time someone does something historic they deserve a standing-O
the same happened in Milwaukee when Shawn Green played for the Dodgers and went 6 for 6 with 4 homeruns. All 200 Brewers fans in the stands were giving Green a standing ovation whenever he came to the plate after like his 2nd home run lol I don't blame them, I wouldn't care if a player was on a team I despised I would cheer for a performance like that. Baseball is VERY much a individuals game and individuals deserve recognition. The coaches don't hit the ball, the GM doesn't hit the ball, the player on deck doesn't hit the ball (during current AB) it's all about the individual. I give major props to Josh Hamilton even though he plays on a team I love to hate. He's actually played on 2 teams I've loved to hate. But made respect nonetheless.
When the Rangers scored 30 runs in one game against the O's, it was 27-3 I believe, and one of the Rangers hit a 3 run shot and I remember the O's fans clapping and cheering at that as well. Lol
You're witnessing history in the making, of course you're going to clap.
Josh Hamilton was a beast during this time with the Rangers..that homerun derby was amazing,its sad that he couldn't conquer his demon's
This was the first year as a kid I played fantasy baseball. Had Josh on my team and just happened to catch this game live at my buddy's house. I went absolutely crazy, its one of those sports moments I'll never forget
The fact that nearly all those balls went to straight center AND it seems that he was under all but the last one. Wow. Just wow. CRAZY power
Announcer: "I think they better throw him a pitch he can't hit next time up"
Narrator: "They didn't"
It's nice to see the fans showing some sportsmanship, even the Orioles fans were clapping when he hit his fourth.
And the Lord said
"let he who is without sin cast the first stone"...
Sure Josh fought his demons but let me say this...
Josh was blessed and he made what in my opinion was the greatest comeback in Major
League baseball...
So thanks Josh I will always remember all the good years you gave us and how much I loved to watch you hit...
I hope you always thank the Lord
for all the talent
He gave you for without Him this
could never have been
One of baseball all time greatest talents to ever step on a field.
Probably one of the best players in the modern day era. He could do it all. Just really a shame that he couldn't overcome his demons. #whatcouldhavebeen
Just realized Adrian Beltre was here for this and Shawn Greens 4 home run game....weird coincidence.......
I remember talking about this with a friend of mine. Just simply amazing . . .
I remember watching this game live and I was in awe.
Do the Rangers always beat the shit out of the O's or something?
No the Rangers suck dick this year lol 4th Go Tigers
Os swept them in 4 games at Baltimore this year... so no
Rangers are like 35-55
Back in the good days before they lost their beast mode lineup they did
Sad to say no, my Rangers can no longer beat ANYONE LIKE THIS it seems.. injuries totally fooked this year.. we sit at 49-77 and I cry myself to sleep thinking about it..
One of the most incredible talents the game has ever seen. Genuinely is too bad his substance abuse got in the way
Same as Darrell Strawberry of the Mets. Just a damn shame these guys can't keep their minds right.
This was the closest thing in real life I ever saw to the final scene from "the natural" movie.
Hamilton in 2008-2012 was all time monster mode. This guy won MVP in 2010 and missed 5 weeks with injury!
@@craigwheeler4760 yeah I was thinking the same with strawberry all of the talent but couldn't keep clean but many of those players on those mets team were on coke during the mid to late 80's
Dude had all time great talent.
Unbelievable! What a huge talent!!
nice crowd, shows class
I think this guy should get off rookie hitting level
I c wut u did thar
One thing you'll never see is a bat flip from Josh. He just destroys the ball then runs the bases. Respect for the game.
That's just incredible man
Left-center, Opposite field, Left-center, Center. Boi power
This is how I want to remember Josh Hamilton...Fight those demons buddy!
A cautionary tale. Such amazing talent.
Hamilton was one of the last great baseball sluggers. He was a badass...too much of a badass for his own good.
Dude there’s been like 20 better sluggers since he quit lol
Those were all long ones too 👊👊
That group of guys was so fun to watch. Shame the rangers suck now.
This comment still holds up in 2020
@@dynamicvoltage9765 It will forever hold up. Elvis, Michael Young, Ian Kinsler, Nelson Cruz, Josh Hamilton, Napoli, Adrian Beltre...You aren't topping that era of the rangers.
@@newerest1 one strike away...
What an incredible talent he was
I remember this game he was like a super hero
It's a very rare feat that a person can hit four home runs in one game.
Barry Bonds never hit four home runs in a game.
@@longdang3602 because he got walked a million times his career on base percentage is ridiculous
I cannot even do this on the PlayStation :-)
Man showed little emotions on such a historic event. Loved Josh.
And I remember that was the beginning of the end of Josh Hamilton. So sad. He was an outstanding hitter.
Josh could've been one of the all time greats. Too bad he couldn't get rid of his demons.
Man, he was my favorite player til he went to the dark side....
He is coming back to Texas
Meatmeat yes I heard!! I'm willing to forgive and forget. Home is where he belongs.
Nom Dizzle He's a drug addict and I hate that we made this move.
Eric from TX He's been a drug addict and always will be. He was a drug addict when you guys had him. You are never a cured addict, you are just a recovering addict. I think if he gets the right support system around him and is comfortable in Texas he'll be fine.
Doing drugs makes you a bad person?
That was awesome seeing the opposing fans giving a stand O. That is respect right there boy!
I watched this live and watch it at least 3x a year, every year since it it happened
When you play road to the show on rookie
The Oriole fans showed a lot of class by applauding after HR #4. That wouldn't happen at every ballpark. Yankee Stadium comes to mind...
Met him at Durham bulls park in Durham NC when he got dropped to the minors from the Cincinnati Reds. My fearless 12 year old self rushed passed security and got my Reds hat signed by him personally. Very nice dude. I guess I was only 12 but I remember it like it was yesterday.
Este es el Josh Hamilton que queremos ver. Que lástima todo lo que se ha causado, gran talento
