to be honest ive never looked up to anyone. because in the end they will let you down. but this man Josh Hamilton, has changed my life in several ways. his story inspires me and pushes me to be the best. he left and came back 20 times better then when he left. if your not inspired by this mans story, your not even a human being!
born and raised a mets fan i first heard of him in the 08 hr derby and read beyond belief last summer i wear ur number on my high school baseball team i love you Josh and pray for u everyday
WOW, I remember reading about him in a SI article in high school and how he fell off the baseball map because of drugs. He was hyped to be the Lebron James of baseball. I though he was done until one day I was watching the playoffs and heard his name in the game. I looked him up and can't believe how well he is doing now. I hope the Rangers win the World Series!
If he was a avg player he would not of gotten this chance and i dont beleive all the hoopla, I think they protect this guy just because he has talent. I dont know i just get that feeling. Hopefully im wrong
@cdawg1113 how are they "Protecting" Josh Hamilton when he Himself tells you he was hooked on drugs and alcohol, and then overcome it??? He is trying to make a difference & be a good role model, if you can't see that then I will pray for you. He doesn't partake in any of their Alcohol Celebrations, he Promotes Kids & Adults To Stay Off Of Drugs & Alcohol, He screwed up & tells about it, and he Thanks God Everyday for it all. To Me he has nothing to prove to Anyone
Read your Book and can relate i used to be a dope dealer and now i'm a hope dealer even shot up meth for 3 years, the drug of death, but JESUS CHRIST entered my life through my Pastor the last Rev. Odel Andrews and he showed me how God uses the least,the lost and the last to do HIS work, amen TY JESUS, Will keep praying for you my brother in CHRIST.
Josh Hamilton really is a hero. He shows the will, the determination, the faith, and the dedication that anyone and everyone needs to have to succeed and overcome problems.
His story really hits home for me because my parents were and are still drug addicts. I see him in my father and I wish he could meet my father so he could believe and know it's possible to overcome his addiction and be successful.
yeah it was one time in january. he owned up to his mistakes and he has been clean. the part where he is wrong is once you're an addict you're an addict for life.
@AJBean10 Ummmm just because of 1 screw up doesnt mean he is an addict for life, he screwed up yes but like u said he owned up to it. Its been like what 4 years since his last screw up before that incadent thats 1459 days, 1 screw up day. It just proves that the temptaion can get u no matter what.
this guy is amazing i wish i could meet him. i couldnt put his book down ive read it 4 times getting ready to read it again. its amazing and def is a emotional book. if i met him i dont even think i would be able to get a word out.
I read hisJosh Hamilton's book "Beyond Belief" I don't read very many books but I couldn't put this one down. It's the only book that I have ever read and got emotional while reading. One day my wife and I were on vacation and by the pool at the condo that we stayed in at the beach, and I was reading the book and had just read the part about Josh getting reinstated to the MLB. I couldn't hold it, I had tears running down my face. Josh is my new hero, favorite MLB player, and inspiration
