Josh Hamilton

Last night in baseball, something very special happened precisely because it was not about baseball. If you follow America's pastime at all, you know full well what happened during his superhuman first round of the All-Star Game Home Run Derby. Iron Man, Hulk and even Batman all take a back seat because this is a true story. It's a story of a man's demise, and God's overwhelming grace.

For those who do know it, for those who don't know it, I encourage you to visit this link here and read ESPN's Jayson Stark's first hand account of his astonishment and wonder. Josh Hamilton hit nearly three miles worth of baseballs!!

Though it might not make you a baseball fan, it will surely pique your interest in the Texas Rangers, and it will definitely make you a fan of Josh Hamilton, Texas Ranger, potential MLB MVP, Home Run Derby record exploder, and son of the King.
