The night will mainly be remembered for the overwhelming positive response and standing ovation Hamilton received prior to his first at-bat.
"It was awesome," Hamilton said. "It was a good feeling. I appreciated it a lot. I didn't know what to expect. To have the fans cheering and standing meant a lot. It brought back some good memories. Getting support from the fans makes you want to compete more and give them everything you've got."
Hamilton went 2-for-4 in his first game back with the Rangers in Arlington since 2012. He's 3-for-15 since being activated from the disabled list, which includes three games in Cleveland.
