Hammerin Hamilton

I know I am a little late but that is only because I created this blog today. Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers is on fire!!! One game last week he hit 4 homeruns! A feet in which only 15 other players have been able to do. He currently has 18 homeruns for the year and 44 RBI's, a 14-game hitting streak and he is on pace to win the triple crown. I know it is only mid May and the season is young but if he continues this streak then the Rangers will easily make there way to another third straight World Series appearance.

Josh Hamilton has hit 9 homeruns in one week, which is 9 homeruns in 6 games. He is averaging more than 1 RBI per game and USA Today just released an article stating that the bat that was used for hitting 9 homeruns in one week is now going to Cooperstown for the baseball HOF. The bat finally cracked in his last at bat on Sunday night in their 13-6 victory against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Interestingly he used a pink bat in the first part of the game for breast cancer awareness. Ironically he struck out in his first 2 at bats with the pink bat then decided to go with his original bat in the 7th inning. Now I guess we will just have to see how he does with a new bat from here on out.
