In the summer of 2010, Josh Hamilton was Superman.
He batted .359, had 75 extra-base hits, drove in 130 runs and led the Texas Rangers into their first World Series.
In the summer of 2010, when Josh Hamilton was earning the American League’s Most Valuable Player award, his daughters were 9, 5 and 2 years old. The youngest, Stella Faith Hamilton, had yet to arrive.
Maybe, therefore, that’s his motivation. His daughters never really got to see him play. Maybe that’s why Josh Hamilton, at age 35 and with $112 million already earned in his baseball career, keeps insisting he still wants to be in the major leagues.
