I hate human interest stories
But I can't get enough stories about Josh Hamilton.
Would I feel differently if he wasn't on my team? Would I feel differently if he wasn't doing well? Perhaps. But he is on my team, and he is doing well. ROY Hobbs. He hasn't (to me) shown any signs of letting his addictions reclaim him. To this point, he seems like a complete and utter success. I wish him all the best, and am pulling for him to succeed. I've been so impressed by the way he's dealt with his past and the way he's dealing with his success. He knows exactly where he's come from, and what's at stake. His priorities seem to be in the right order. He knows that baseball is a game and he's lucky to do what he does. If he had to, I think he could walk away right now and still be a happy, successful person.
That moment on Opening Day is one of my favorite memories of the season. The crowd cheering, the smile on his face... he was reacting the way we all would if we got to play Major League Baseball. It makes me want to root even harder for him.
So good job Josh. I think I speak for the rest of Red Reporter when I say that we're pulling for you.
I really enjoyed this article
I haven't read anything more than a few stray quotations, but she must be a remarkable woman.
