J's Spot

Last night Hubby and I watched the home run derby. I was so impressed by Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers. He hit 28 home runs in the first round of the derby. He broke the record! But what impressed me the most was his backstory. He was a first round draft pick for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays but only played a few minor league games before he got heavily involved in drugs. He did not play baseball for 3 years because of his addiction. He managed to battle his addictions and found his way back into the majors. He is one of the top players and he put on a great show yesterday at Yankee Stadium. He is very open about what he went through and seemed very humble. He thanked Jesus as his Lord and Savior and gave Him the glory for his amazing perfomance in the home run derby. After last night, I have to say I am a fan of Josh Hamilton!
