Great ballplayer. Great human being. Mantle was the tragic figure in American sports and Hamilton was called the next Mantle. His story could have been much worse and he's been to hell and back. Here's hoping all his seasons are stellar, but as he says, it's not about baseball anymore. Great interview.
I'm speechless. First for Erica and the great job she did coming up with solid questions for her interview. And secondly for Josh for sitting down w/ a 9 yo and answering her questions - and treating her like an adult in the process. Phenomenal!
First, I'm a die hard Phillies Fan.... Second, I'm a Josh Hamilton fan.. He is an inspiration and his story is one that should be shared with everyone to put life in perspective to see how fragile life truly is.
great job Erica. Josh is a true gentleman of the sport. very impressed how he was looking at her during the interview totally focused on giving an answer. great job to both. GO RANGERS!!!!!
Great questions! Who couldn't like Josh Hamilton after hearing this interview (probably before). I really appreciate the way that he didn't water down his answers. Kudos to both!
Nice job, Erica! Hard-hitting and thoughtful questions, and Josh never went cliche. I look forward to more of these interviews in the future. Perhaps Nelson Cruz, who has also persevered in his own way, would be a good subject. You're definitely a natural and I hope you stick with it.
Wow. Excellent interview. Maybe Erica should do a guest spot on the blog. As for Josh, what an incredible, inspirational message he brings to all who listen. That was a fun to watch. Congrats, Erica! You must make Jamey and Ginger very, very proud.
Excellent job, Erica!! Jamey & Ted, thank you for sharing with us.
What gets me every time I hear Josh Hamilton is the sincerity in his voice. There are no canned answers, even though he has given his story and testimony thousands of times. I am proud to have him on the Rangers.
Great answers Josh
