    Player Josh Hamilton's Book

    I just bought it the other day and started reading it last night. I stayed up until 4 AM turning page after page. So far, unreal!

    What is unreal?

    His book?

    or the fact that you can read?

    I saw it on Amazon a month or so ago and was really tempted to buy it. When you finish it, let me know what you thought of it overall.

    Haha henks. I learned from the best.
    For sure mission, I definitely will.
    NYG; it's called Beyond Belief, Finding The Strength To Come Back

    Keep in mind, I think I may be biased with this book as Hamilton has taken over my view as the greatest player that I've ever watched. Ken Griffey Jr had my eyes wide open since I was 10. Now that he is aging, I found I had to move on. Hamilton stole the scene and replaced Junior for me nicely.

    So, his story is very intriguing to me. That and, I love how he represents a lifetyle I choose to follow as well. A major inspiration for me.

    But don't get me wrong, if you aren't into that, it is still a pretty good read as to how good he was even at the young age of 6. I love reading the full story of his baseball life, but more than that, he has brought me in as the reader and makes me see things the way he saw them.

    I suppose after this read, I will be even more intrigued.

    I'll just guess that like most athletes, he didn't write that book by himself.

    Tim Keown helped him out. But it is his story. I could care less if he wrote it at all, it is him telling the story of his life.

    Re: Josh Hamilton's Book

    Ok, I finished it early this morning. After picking it up last night for the second time, I couldn't go to sleep until it was finished.

    Reds fans will enjoy this book as it talks about his season with the Reds. But you get a since of dissapointment with how the Reds handled his unique situation. But this guy went from the highest of the highs, to the lowest of the lows, back to where he is now. It is an excellent read and one that people should be writing a script for right now.

    If you feel he is talented now, you should read the book and see just how easy baseball has been for him his whole life. The dude flat out is out of this world with his talent on the field. He isn't done yet, and Rangers fans should feel lucky to have what I call the greatest talent in the game in their lineup. What's next for this guy?
