Historical? Okay. A record in the first round. Yawn...
I would rather be the one who won and didn't used to be a crack addict. You seriously think people will talk about this for awhile? I don't.

You are wrong about that. I was there tonight, and I've seen my share of electric Yankee Stadium moments. This was right up there with any. Absolutely amazing.

Did they even talked to Morneau?

Let's see. I watched Hamiltons first round performance, which was unbelievable, and it ended just before 10pm. What time did the Finals end, midnight? I'm sure a lot of people saw what Hamilton did in the first round and then woke up to find out who won the whole thing. I know I did.
Nuff said.

I think the question was posed as to who you would've wanted to be last night. Why are you so riled up about him being a former addict? He's an incredible natural talent that is beating some serious odds. Why do you keep bringing up his past?Why do you think I'm fishing.You think I would rather be a former crack addict who now is playing some great baseball?

I felt a little bad for Morneau; it was clearly Hamilton's night regardless of who won. At first, Ithought it was strange that Andrews went to Hamilton. But then I realized that they were setting up for the trophy presentation and Morneau would be interviewed then.

And my answer is the same.I wouldn't have wanted to be Hamilton last night. The Hamilton you see today is the result of him getting over the crack addiction. I have no wanting desire to ever be that no matter what the end result is.I think the question was posed as to who you would've wanted to be last night.

Oh yeah. It's me bringing up his past. I'm the only one. Yeah. ESPN, Fox Sports, pretty much every F!n newspaper and such hasn't talked about any of his past. That's a good one Finless.
What serious odds? You make it sound like he is some hero. He isn't.
Why so angry, Vlad? Does Hamilton being an addict piss you off some how? I know from personal experience what it means for someone to go through the hell of an addiction and I also know what it means for someone to struggle with recovery and beat the addiction. While becoming an addict may be a sign of weakness I will testify the inner strength needed to beat the addiction is immense. Hamiliton may not be your cup of tea but he is trying to help others that are now in the predicament he was in and that makes him pretty cool in my book.And my answer is the same.I wouldn't have wanted to be Hamilton last night.

Are they like "Josh is nothing but an ex-crack addict" 
They talk about a story of an amazing talent that was sidetracked to a place where not many make it back from only to reemerge and put together an amazing half season of baseball.I didn't make him out to be a hero but it's a good story. It's nice to see someone battle those demons and winning the fight. I really don't understand your anger around this. the points you tried to make were laughable. What serious odds? Beating a coke habit. His own decisions got him there but he also had the sack and strength to turn things around. Cripes, watch the kid play. He's amazing. We should write off his talent because he smoked some hubbas?

100%. But I think its an inherent problem when ESPN and virtually every other news outlet is rooting for him BECAUSE he was able to come back from addiction. The fawning last night was warranted but not for the reasons that the media kept force feeding us. Its cool that he's such a hot hitter and because of the show he put on in round one. But for boring, clean cut guys like Morneau, its a slap in the face. I genuinely felt bad for the guy last night. People were ####ting on him left and right because he was up against an ex-druggie.

Every Hamilton at bat, they redo his life story. Its getting wearisome.
