Having endured struggles through the early stages of the 2011 World Series, former Texas Rangers star Josh Hamilton says his go-ahead home run in Game 6 was the work of a higher power.
In his "Beyond Grateful" essay published on the Players' Tribune on Friday, Hamilton said he received a message from "the Holy Spirit" while he was in the on-deck circle in the 10th inning:
"I hear the Holy Spirit talking to me.
"This is the honest truth.
"For real. I'm standing there, getting ready to bat, and I hear it clear as day.
