    For about 2.5 years he was the best player in baseball and his dominance reminded me of Mattingly at his peak in the 80s.

    I met Josh in my home town, a small town in central Texas. He has a ranch outside of town. I met him in the grocery store, i chatted with him about 45 minutes. I've kept up with him since he was on cover of sports illustrated as a 18 yr old, #1 pick. He was the absolutely nicest most humble super star you could ever meet. I told him i couldn't believe he was in our little home town. He said he was no different from me, he just happened to play professional baseball. I have nothing but good things to say about Josh. I do have a photo with him. I asked him if he minded if I took his photo. He said why don't we both take a photo and we got a lady to take our photo

      When i first saw Josh in the grocery store i asked him if anyone has ever told him that he looked exactly like Josh Hamilton. He laughed and told me sometimes they tell me i do. When I saw his tatoos i knew it was him.

    Hamilton goes into detail in his book that the feeling of belonging and connection he had with the tattoo crowd was something that was dramatically missing from the rest of his life at that time.
    That connection led to him being more receptive of trying drugs with them when asked. It became a part of belonging and maintaining that connection.

    As a rangers fan, Hamilton was always something of an enigma. I still think about the 2 WS seasons and how close they were. And of course the 4HR game. For a few seasons, it was magical in the DFW area. Now, it’s back to suck as usual.

      He always had some bad luck when interacting with fans. Besides the guy that died, I remember he used to have this terrible habit of letting the bat fly out of his hands and into the stands during his swings. He’s very lucky no one was seriously hurt.

    Great video. But how did you skip over the throw to a Dad in the stands, who died. I feel like that was a major trigger point of a downfall. (It would be for me). Josh if you see this you always seemed like a good dude. And I wasn't trying to open any wounds, that wasn't your fault.. We all love ya!!
    THAT WASN'T YOUR FAULT JOSH!!

    Im absolutely fascinated by this guy
    I've seen the videos, read the articles and his book and im still dumbfounded by how it went so bad
    Yeah he has a car accident and a painful back injury but he hated opiates supposedly. I could see getting hooked on OC but the speed habit coming from it off nowhere baffled me.
    There IS a story there that he's either concealing or has just blocked out.

      That is where the drugs came from.

    Hamilton hitting bombs all coked out at that derby was crazy. Josh definitely inspired me and showed me its ok to have a absolutely wild life style and still play sports. He was my hero I was in high school playing ball when he hit the 29 Homer's and everytime Mt coaches would get on me or make me run for drugs and drinking I always said look at josh.

  • @jamesbroomfield7799
    @jamesbroomfield7799 6 месяцев назад +2

    I'll tell you the problem for Hamilton right now and this is easy, getting 120 million dollars and then moving to Los Angeles, at 32 years old. That's not a really good mix right there specially if you had drug issues in the past. Getting over a hundred million dollars and then living in the most Lively City on the West Coast, it's not a good mix if you're a young man that was battling drug addiction in the past years
