Josh Hamilton gets 1st hit back with Rangers - Fox4News.com | Dallas-Fort Worth News, Weather, Sports
He's Baaack! Is this good news or bad news? When he left he said that DFW was not a baseball town. He also said that the Texas Rangers did NOTHING for his career. I will admit, the biggest thing in DFW is Dallas Cowboy Football, and Texas in general is All About Football...Friday Night Lights and all. Yes maybe baseball comes in second place to football that indeed is true.
So lets focus on The Texas Rangers doing "Nothing" for his career... Really? The Rangers gave him a chance when no other team would. They worked with him and actually bent over backward to make the clubhouse environment a place where he could feel comfortable and not tempted by his addiction demons. Texas was the place where he rose to baseball super star status. Instead of staying loyal to the team that took him on when no one else wanted to, he went for the bigger pay day! And he realized it was a mistake!
He is back, and looking I suppose for a do over... He wants Texas Ranger fans to welcome him back with open arms and forgive his past greed and shortsightedness.
I think that it may take time...How much time probably depends on his performance. How quickly do the fans see he is still good for Texas Ranger Baseball. He might get booed by some of the fans first off until he shows them he is all about doing his best for the Rangers.
I say we all make bad decisions in life and many of us wish there were something in our lives where we wish we could have a do over. Lets let Josh have his do over and root for it to be a good thing for Texas Ranger Baseball!
Well the first things Josh Hamilton did was make a good play on a fly ball and get a stand up double...both of which were met with cheers. It appears that the Texas Ranger fans are willing to forgive & forget!
