Sometimes I believe people like Josh can be used by God in a very powerfull way. I do believe God has a plan for everyone. I am pulling for this young man so hard. Maybe what he has gone through can end up being a positive in many peoples lives. By the way Baseball Buzz happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Tell Mac we all said hello!
Thanks, Coach, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well. Hope all is well with Jeff - we miss you guys. Mac says he hasn't been in a decent card game since we stopped travelling this summer!
BTW, exciting to see Matt Harrison made the 40-man roster, as announced yesterday by the Rangers.

Yeah I miss Mac and the card games. We are still undefeated you know! We are really excited for Matt. One more step! I promised him I will be there for his first ML start when that day comes. I just hope he is on the East Coast for it. Im looking forward to the HS season and I know you guys are as well. I planning on making a few rounds this season. I have got to see Mac , Bryce at Wakefield , all the boys at Northern Durham , Riverside to see those guys and of course I will see Jeff and Pratt play. Its hard to believe they are going to be playing their last year of HS baseball. Dont cry on senior night K.
Why shouldn't I cry on Senior night? I've cried at every senior night for every sport for the past 3 years!! Every senior night ceremony reminds me of just how fast this wonderful time is flying by. I still have one more boy (freshman this year) that we can watch when Mac and Jeff, Pratt and Brice, Bass and Long, Jim and Brian, etc. are gone.
Josh Hamilton just got traded to the Rangers.
Great trade for the Rangers. Hopefully Josh will make good use of the short porch in right field. Rangers didn't give up much for him at all.

Durham — Cincinnati Reds rookie outfielder and Raleigh native Josh Hamilton was home for the holidays and spent part of the time at the Durham Rescue Mission.
“On a day like this, where family is really important, to get together and have a meal for you and games for the kids and things like that, and just bring those families together is really important,” Hamilton said.
Before spending Thanksgiving with his family, Hamilton mingled with volunteers and other guests at the mission’s Thanksgiving feast for the poor.
To those battling drug addiction, Hamilton said hope is never lost.
The former Athens Drive High School standout has been an open book about his past drug addiction and recovery.
The Durham Rescue Mission plans to have Hamilton back in January to share his story.
I have no idea how to get in touch with him, unless you tried through the Rangers?. He does make a great speaker though. Good luck.
Brandon Majoy - Sent you an e-mail. Did you receive it?
Good article on Josh Hamilton:

I'm sure they were hoping to keep him in the park. With 2 outs, they had a 70% chance of ending the game, a 30% chance of tying it, but you don't want to put the winning run on base voluntarily.
After tonight's performance at the HR Derby the whole world knows where (and who) Josh Hamilton is.
It was the most awesome display of hitting I have ever seen. The reincarnation of Mickey Mantle. Only afterwards, did I learn the story of his addiction and struggle.. God Speed, Josh, and fight the good fight.
