josh hamilton-1st round all pick and guess where he's at now?

Josh Hamilton was the first pick of the 1999 draft. From what I understand he is still under suspension by Major League Baseball for drug use violations.

I say this because I hope you'd look up to the guy who was donating his time by throwing you batting practice more than you would idolize a convicted drug addict. The guy who has helped you for free sees something in you and you obviously respect that guy. He is much more of a role model than Hamilton. Just because he was drafted does not make Hamilton the type of person to idolize.

IMHO

Thank you big brother.

Role models can come from anywhere, Bob, regardless of their history. It is very possible that Josh Hamilton is a person who has matured and become a fabulous role model for young baseball players.

Teach,

Feeling a little crabby today?

he just hit some with me, and I new about the drug suspension. once you get talking to him he's a pretty cool guy. He said he's got it together and is getting back into it around june.
