Did you see the show that Josh Hamilton put on last night at Yankee Stadium?
Last man up in the HR Derby launched pitch after pitch into the night and came up with a HRD record 28 dingers, eclipsing Mr. Bobby Abreu's total of 24 when he was still with the Phillies.
But the real highlight was his BP Pitcher, 71 year old Clay Counsil. Hamilton has become the feel-good story of the season, and I admire his return from the depths he was in to become a fine person first and a good ballplayer second. Time will tell if he can be classified as great. I am rooting for him.
