Josh Hamilton homers in low minors. Carl Crawford was there!

I was in Elizabethton, TN in 1998 (or 1999) to see my son play minor league baseball for his team, the Elizabethton Twins - an affliate of the Minnesota Twins. They were playing again the Princeton Devil Rays - an affliate of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. I made sure to turn on my video camera to capture a young Josh Hamilton hitting - the #1 overall pick in the draft. I have him batting twice - once hitting a homerun to right - the other time he lined out to deep center. Watch carefully, after Josh hits his homerun, (future major league all star) Carl Crawford #24 is there to greet him.
Anyway, this is all before Josh got involved with drugs. I remember that his parents were at the game. I also remember hearing that they travelled to every game in their motor home.

Thanks Josh for never giving up. Unlike many other MLB ballplayers who suffered from inner demons (i.e. Gooden, Strawberry, Rose) he rebounded in such as way that was convincing, sincere, undeniable, and inspiring. I'm proud to wear your jersey around LA no matter what anyone says. Stay determined to do the right thing as a role model and stay around positive people who genuinely care about you Josh Hamilton the person and not just the ballplayer.
