  • Please stop calling it a disease

  • I read his book for my English class last year. We had to do an oral presentation about a famous person. I am so glad I did my report on him, and I did really well on it. Also, Josh's story is amazing and I think he is an awesome person. He is just a great person inside and out.

  • I have this book and L-O-V-E it!!!!

  • This is truly the power of Christ. He's given him the strength to rise up and do well in life. Hamilton is a great example of the living power of Christ. This story is amazing. Im a die hard Ranger fan, and watching him perform above everyone else, I know why he does. Great baseball player, great person.

  • This is the only reason God lets us go through hardships..so we can relate with others who are going through the same thing we did and when they asked how we got through it we can tell them the truth God is the only way..

  • Hambone bad white dude! Where can I find his book?

  • @mercado03 Books a million or any popular book store, or even some sports and video store.

  • come to the white sox josh lol come to me lol

  • i just started reading it, and it is awsome!

  • i bought the book the 1st day it came out it was awsome pick it up

  • Such and inspirational and uplifting story. It gives someone like myself and others hope that its not the end of the world and that no matter what has happened to you, tomorrow brings another day and hope. One of my favorite players and I will always root for this guy..

  • he's now batting +.300

  • Cold Dish, you obviously haven't played baseball in Florida. It's not the "soak up the sun" atmosphere; it's hot as hell. And as a starting pitcher for 14 years in Orange County (FL), I dreaded having to pitch the afternoon games. Outfielders, also, are the only ones who have the easiest jobs out of the position players.

    As for Hamilton, let it go dude. My dad is a coach for the Rays and was there when they drafted Hamilton. Hamilton knows he fucked up, so this is his form of apology

  • @flyinhawaiian1214 good point man i played college baseball in the north and we would go to florida every year in march and trust me i dreaded double headers in the afternoon in march i would be destroyed playin in april or may haha

  • @y0uknowmysteez HAHA you must be a pussy lol They play football in florida when its 90 degress with all that equipment on and they actually do something lol they dont spend half the time satnding in left field or sitting in the dugout blowing bubbles HAHAHAHA

  • @ColdDish1 either ur a computer thug or just retarded either way u dont kno what ur talking about i played football and baseball if u played college baseball it takes balls i shouldnt waste my time with u but i come to the hood u little bitch sittin at home blowin bubble in ur suburbia home i dodge bullets everday and baseball helps me escape for a few hours away from home maybe u have brain damage from football idk my hood kensington and bailey buffalo, ny com and ill whope ur ass hahaha pussy

  • @y0uknowmysteez Basbeall isn't a contact sport lol it's BASEBALL LMAO

  • @y0uknowmysteez im really afraid of you LOL with those simpson videos on your profile LOL LOL HAHAHA thats really ghetto HAHAHAHAHAAH

    LMAO

  • @ColdDish1 lame excuse pussy hahahahahahaha finish somethin u started bitch

  • @ColdDish1 its idiots like u that dont kno what a great game baseball is yes my friend it take balls to play u obviosly dont have them we play every day through injury it take grit and heart to play not blowing bubbles in left frield dumb ass this isnt little league im 6'6 280 i work out 2wice a day to play ball i would whope ur ass in 2 seconds i can whope anyone on a football field in 2 sec but idn want brain damage i turned down college football to play college baseball so fuck u bitch

  • @y0uknowmysteez I never said it wasn't a great game...I said it's really slow and not taxing to play..sure the games are 4 hrs long...but most of the time you aren't doing anything...and the only contact is the odd collision at home plate....or maybe an outfielder hitting the wall...and they do sit in the dug out in the majors and chew seed and blow bubbles all night lol they have nothing else to do

  • @ColdDish1 im an athlete ur a guy that talks shit online that says it all lmao u pussy

  • @y0uknowmysteez baseball lmao

  • @ColdDish1 "Whoever says baseball is a slow game is a moron." And that is absolutely right. In baseball, you are in the game EVERY pitch. Your mind needs to be in the game at all times. I recognize you like the game, but I'm just saying it is most definitely a quick-paced game.

  • @y0uknowmysteez really good points. Baseball is my life and it's obviously the greatest game ever invented.

  • @flyinhawaiian1214 Are you joking lol They play everyday and 162 games for a reason..it's a dog fvck sport lol they sit in a air conditioned dug out and chew seeds and duck into the club house for the odd cold bevrage

    ken Griffey was found sleeping in the clubhouse when they needed him to go pinch hit late in a game HAHA He was SLEEPING in the clubhouse

    it's hardly a taxing game to play

  • if u dont understand addiction, dont open your mouth. its not a millionaire story, or a bible one, its a life one.

  • To forgive is devine

    So lets have a glass of wine

    And have make up sex

    until the end of time, time, time..

  • colddish must be the only non sinner on you tube. Sin is sin. you dont cheat on your wife but youre so full of hatred youre cheating on yourself.

    "forgiveness its more than saying sooorrrryyy"

  • im not full of hatred

    i just don't make millionaire ball players my heroes

    this guy has the world in his hands and just needs to home to his family and step away from the crack and skanks

    when he gets he will be better off

    he doesn't need to write a book about anything..or act like he's a victim

    He needs to grow up

  • you sound very jealous. someone didnt make an all start team as a child

  • Not jealous

    Just understand reality and dont fall for this media "Hype" Hamilton selling a book looking for money and all the Bible thumpers in line using him to preach

    it's lame

  • @ColdDish1 Everyone ignore this guy. He's just a troll who goes to different Josh Hamilton videos spreading hateful deceit. 

  • its not so much about the crackheads down the street or the prostitutes or the colddish coldhearted. its more about the one person his story touches and that person spreading the word. Josh Hamilton is a hero because he conquered the echoes of doubt. not because he makes a million dollars for playing a game. hes lucky hes in the entertainment business and people spend their days talking about his life. Doubters like you make people like Josh Hamilton heroes.

  • Josh is my fav player but id say the most physically demanding sport is probably football or Rugby although baseball is not the sport everyone can play ones hand eye needs to be out of this world to play

  • I think you guys are leaving something out. You are all talking about him being addicted and then he miraculously gets away from the drugs. But the only reason that he got off the drugs is because of God. He couldn't have done it without God and God saved him.

  • in my opion (In my Opionion) as an atheist i believe that he had help from himself you cant do soemthing with the help of god if you dont believe

  • Yes, but if you read his book then you would know that he is a christian. so he DID get help from God.

  • i am currently reading this book im going into chapter three and thus far i am enjoying it. His story is different and he has stryggled

  • The book is an inspiring sotry of him fighting his demons and what his process was. It helps me through alot of hard times.

  • If you have never been an addict/alcoholic., had a friend or family member with this disease....your ugly/negative remarks are null and void. There is nothing better than a rcovering person. They are the most real people. Surrendering, one day at a time, and working a program is the ONLY way to help prevent a relapse. If you are ignorant about addiction, it would serve you well to keep your judgements to yourself. God bless and keep him. If 1 person is helped with his story...GREAT

  • u r so true!

  • Ok explain the cheating on his wife ?? is he addicted to sex as well lol

    maybe he should go to therappy classes with Tiger Woods

  • ColdDish1 you don't believe that addictions are diseases.....so I am not going to respond other than.....I hope you don't ever have to experience it in your life or a loved ones.

  • is cheating on your wife and licking whip cream off young college girls also a disease ??

  • I bet you are just a kid who would be like the bunny that sells batteries....you will just keep going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on....Have a nice night.

  • Mypoint is millions of people battle issues with addictions and they don't have the privileges Josh Hamilton does

    yet they make out Josh to be a hero lol

    can the young millionaire ball player stay clean enough so he can cash his next $250,000 check lol sorry but i dont feel sorry for this guy

    go drive down town and see the real sick ppl who have to resort to prostitution and scuh things so they can get a next hit

    oh but they can hit a fastball and wrtite a book so who cares lol

  • So really your pissed because he has money.......class warfare......man, the progressives have done their job good. A very RICH person with a disease such as speed, alcohol. sex......whatever can lose it all and can be just like the "real" sick people who resort to prostitution and such for their next hit. I am assuming that would make you feel better, because he has too much money for us to be happy for him.

  • Josh was the one who tried his best to ruin a good thing....licking whip cream off young college girls with a wife and kid at home isn't a disease...it was a choice he made...he has a long history of making poor choices

    he's lucky he has baseball otherwise he'd just be another crackhead on the street begging for money that people step over

  • I don't know what his drug of choice is and don't know his marital state. If his wife is still married to him that must mean she has FORGIVEN him. If they divorced then that is another price he had to pay for his behavior. He is just one (whatever his drug is) away from losing everything. It is a one day at a time deal. Let's just agree to disagree, okay?

  • You will make an excuse for anybody who's all of a sudden pushing the bible down peoples throats lol

    I hope he stays clean for sure...but he's NOT a hero...he's a guy whos made mistakes and almost flushed away a great life....now he needs to get it together for no other reason but HIMSELF

  • Not making an excuse. Think about it. Dis Ease with oneself.  Finding something to fill emptiness in pit of soul. You are right about one thing, doing it for HIMSELF. If he does it for any other reason he will fail. He is not YOUR hero but he is a hero to OTHERS.

  • He's not a hero...PERIOD

  • You are right. To you he is not a HERO PERIOD.

  • partying and licking whip cream off college girls when you have a wife and kid at home is a disease ??

    ok

  • A sin is a sin is a sin Cold dish. They all amount to the same in the Eyes of the person that it really matters, so forgive him yourself and move on. He is a hero to me, because he was a drug addict, but now he is clean and has his eyes set straight now. Stuff happens and God forgives, so why cant you. He's a great guy with things going for him. It sounds like your jealous cold if you ask me.

  • @theonlywesttexasmare 44 /m /tx here

    I've been down that road myself except my drug of choice was the drug of death (meth) I went striaght for the vein, but unfotunatley for satan, God had bigger plans for me about 7 yrs ago i met a preacher that with the Holy Spirits guidance i was able to quit all drug and alocohol use, I to was also insprired by Josh's book.I love baseball but wasn't really a fan or even watched much on TV till i read his book beyond belief. I was blessed to be at last game.

  • Josh Hamilton is not a clown maybe you should get your fucking 1st grade education and read a book you know the one hes talking about and if hes a clown why'd u click on this video dip ship so suck a dick he is an inspirartion comment if you agree

  • Hes not any dif from people you see on the street addicted to drugs. But they arent making an effort to get clean. His story is amazing because of how he made and effort to get clean, and eventually become great. If these "people on the streets" make that effort, theres no telling what they could do either.

  • Yall should quit arguing, and waych the video again, it would do you some good. He went to the bar to have a drink, not to get drunk, and he relapsed. He was clean for four years before this, and he's already apologized and felt terrible for what happened. I net he doesn't have this problem ever again though.

    And colddish, the reason he is popular, is because he uses his story to glorify God. maybe you should look into that yourself.

  • yeah and a addicted gambler goes to the casino to make 1 or 2 bets and leave lol

    Hamilton knew exactly what he was doing lol he went to party

  • why ?? I don't cheat on my wife or waste everything good in my life by doing drugs or drinking

    My Josh Hamilton should look into that

    actions speak louder than words

  • let's see you get addicted to crack, and cocaine and then come back and be one of the most dominant players in the mlb.

    Oh, and become the number 1 pick in the draft right out of high school.

    Loser

  • He was always a great baseball player...he chose to risk it all by doing crack.....That was HIS choice...he's not a victim.....drive downtown and look at all the crackheads....oh but they cant hit a 90MPH fastball so fuckem...but Josh hamilton..oh....he's a hero

    get real

  • U r a n00b gtfo >:-(

  • God works in the most amazing ways.

  • Yup..God sent Josh to that bar in Arizona were he met those 3 skanks and licked whip cream off them all night and did a ton of shots and chased them with beers..yup God is amazing...And He had a wife and kid at home in Texas

    What a Guy

  • ur a dumbass, almost everyone who quits drugs, relapses. would like to see ur bitch ass come back from what he did, u would probably be dead.

  • He was licking whip cream off of young girls in a arizona bar with a wife and kid back home in Texas

    explain where the drugs come into this ? if

    Like i said...keep making excuses for him

  • not making any excuses 4 him, he fucked up it happens, everyone needs to get off his fucking back, he didnt have sex with any of the girls to our knowledge and he said sorry and its over. what else do u want him 2 do? And just to let u know, he was drunk thats where the drugs come into this and when u are drunk, that effects what u do, not saying it was okay or anything.

  • So take a six pack and drink it at the hotel and go to bed...He entered a bar where girls party...he was looking to party...thats my point

    Not all people with addictions cheat on the wife who's at home taking care of the kid......it wasn't fuled by beer.....he knew he would find girls at that bar before he entered and had a beer

  • dude again he fucked up, not sure what else hes suppose to do, im sure u have never done anything bad in ur life u perfect angel. And he didnt have sex with any of the girls to our knowledge, so he never really cheated but okay.

  • I would'nt touch drugs so no need to worry

    people who decide to take drugs aren't victims...it's not like he's coming back from cancer..like lance armstrong

    Hamilton tried his best to flush away mega millions...and a baseball career...thats his fault

    most dont have the advantages Josh hamilton has.....people with addictions have it much worse over this clown

  • Tons of people go through what Josh does everyday..put they have regular jobs like pumping gas...or picking up garbage so nobody cares...But because Josh is a baseball player with mega millions he's a hero for dealing with it all

    gimmie a break

  • Yeah, they also basically destroy their bodies, did you know that, he is off the drugs and he built up his strength to be able to play one of the most physically demanding sports in the world.

    Also, do the people with regular jobs do it basically all on their own like Josh did, or do they go to the asylum,

    where you should be you idiot.

  • Baseball isnt a physically demanding sport lol it's baseball

    Josh didn't do shit on his own..he has millions of dollars..he gets the best treatment and the best of everything

    get a clue

  • hey dipshit, baseball isnt a physically demanding sport?!?!

    162 games a season.

    oh but not physically demanding...

    oh and, r u saying its easy to hit a ball over 310 feet? easy to hit a 95 mph pitch?

  • You know why they play 162 games and plays 4 days in a row ? they do because it isn't physically demanding

    they stand around half the time chewing seeds and spitting lol

    it's a very laid back sport

    hardly demanding

  • The reason they play 162 games is because it isn't demanding lol get a clue

    Football is demanding..thus they play 16 lol

    they spend half the time sitting in the dugout eating seeds and chewing gum lol

    and it's a non contact sport lol

    only player who really does any work is the catcher lol

  • A MLB season consists of a 162 game regular season and possibly playoffs. It is very physically and mentally demanding sport. I would say more than football because NFL has 17 weeks (17 days) of games, not counting playoffs. But Football is more contact. I get that.

  • They play everyday in baseball because they can

    it's not demanding

    They spend so much time standing in the outfield or sitting in the dugout lol

  • Well, your an idiot. Its not demanding? Are you fucking me? Your playing from March 4th(spring training) til September, October if u make the playoffs. And no they dont spend half the time in the dugout. dipshit.

  • They play everyday because its a laid back sport and the body doesnt need much time at all to recover

    outside of getting a fastball in the ribs which certainly doesnt happen every game or the rare baserunner running over a catcher at home plate it's a very laid back game and you aren't in constant motion

    thats why they play everyday...cause they can

  • yeah spring training is pretty intense

    I mean soaking up the sun in sunny florida and fielding ground balls and working on bunting the ball down the 1st and 3rd base line is pretty intense

    and those long sunny afternoons spent tossing a ball around smelling all that fresh spring florida air with the palm trees swaying..I don't know how they get through the day

    its a tough life for sure

    LMAO

  • ball game can last up to 3.5-4 hrs

    you might get 4-5 at bats and have the ball hit to you maybe 5 times

    you might get on base twice and have to run for maybe a combined 3 minutes lol

    they hang in the dugout and drink hot chocolate, water, have beer in the clubhouse, eat seeds and chew gum lol

    its a laid back sport

  • Yea, go play 162 games in 180 days, he makes close to the league minimum, and he faces incredible struggle and addiction everyday, get a clue bro

  • whats the league minimum in major league baseball these days ?? 1.5 million lol poor guy...how does he eat ???

    lets all have a pitty party for the millionaire

  • sucks to see him relapse!

  • JCody, Amen to what you said below! I pray God will continue working through your life!!

  • ColdDish, why are you hating on Josh? You don't know what went on. All you know is the pictures you saw. So please hold your judgments to yourself.

  • I don't know what happened ???

    LOL I have a pretty good idea

    His life is consumed by beer, drugs, and girls...quit making excuses for him

    Josh doesn't need god or people saying poor Josh...Josh isn't the VICTIM..He's the one acting like a idiot and doing these things to himself

    Josh needs to grow up..end of story

  • He gave so many people hope and his miracle was well documented, I say thank god for Josh Hamilton, he helped me with my demons. He made me a believer, where I thought it all was nonsense and now I've been sober for over a year. I am just one person but I am so grateful to him

  • he needs to take up the drugs again because he is only hittting .200

  • GO RANGERS ......

  • He said in an interview that the more succes he gets the more his story is known and inspires more and more people. I don't think I could even put into words how inspiring and good his book is and those who have read it know what I mean. I'm a die hard phillies fan but Josh Hamilton will always be one of my favorite players. I don't know anyone nor have I myself been involved drugs but his story still inspires me in so many ways.

  • AMEN!!!

  • It inspired Josh to lick whip cream off of three bar sluts and do shots and drink beers with them all night while his wife and kid are sitting at home

    yup..what an inspiration

  • @phinally7 Definitely. I've read his book too. I am an Indians fan but he is one of my favorite players of all time.

  • It ain't easy. He inspired me.

  • i think im going to read the book

  • i dont see why he hates hit tattoos, he wasnt high when he got them, i have 20 and its very addicting to see ur arms come to life with colors, i am also a ball player but i love showin my tats on the field, his book is amazing and inspired me to get god more into life, "with god all things are possible"

  • Hail Allahhhhh!!!!

  • I think he hates them because they bring back bad memories. I'm not sure though.

  • yeah he did a thing on hbo and he said that he got his tattoo's when he was either drunk or high

  • It's not a knock on his tats at all, it's just a reminder of his past that he doesn't want. The tattoo parlor is where he was introduced to drugs and alcohol.

  • AMEN!!!

  • @cdubbz15 he has tatoos of the DEVIL lol

  • i have read his book and would recomend it to anyone, even if you dont like baseball its still an awesome story of what God did in his life!!

  • this man is everything.

    a great baseball player

    a great man

    and a great family man

    theres not many people like him

  • what do you mean fagget? this guy is a story of a awsome person who went through shit and now he's one of the best players in baseball and i bet he would wip your ass in a homerun durby

  • He wears long sleeves because he hates his tattoos. I think they are sick though.

  • the book is awsome

  • i love the book and love crack cocaine

  • i luv josh hamilton great story!

    even greater person!

    good luck Josh

    graet vid!!!

  • I got the book it is good. my dog chewed up the book but lucky she didnt chew up any of the pages

  • Josh Hamilton's Story is incredible and he is an amazing person.

  • i loved the book

  • AMEN!!!To GOD be the GLORY!!!

  • this is just so true and heart filling
