Josh Hamilton sets HR Derby Record

The few of you who look at this are saying who cares about a HR derby record and then you are probably saying who cares about this Josh Hamilton guy. We will start with the second of those two.
Josh was drafted in 1999 by the Devil Rays with huge expectations for his baseball career. Josh didn't actually make it to the Big League before he was suspended for multiple failed drug tests. He did not play baseball from 2002-2006, during which time he became a severe drug addict. After a tough battle, he finally cleaned his act up but he credits this to God and his faith that he found during the process. Here is his story in his own words on ESPN. I know it is kinda long but if anything read the last five or so paragraphs about signing autographs after a game. He spends a lot of his time now telling people about his story and about his faith.
Now, he plays for the Texas Rangers and has made the roster for the All-Star game in his second season as a Pro. Then tonight happened.....In the first round of the HR derby he hit 28 HRs, breaking Bobby Abreau's record of 24 set in 2005. It was a truly amazing exhibition, ending up with 3 of the top 10 longest HRs in derby history. The best part of it all was listening to him give all the credit to God and Jesus.
We hear and see a lot and I mean a lot about athletes, musicians, actors, etc. that have all kinds of troubles. More people like Josh need to be getting attention, not for the problems, but for overcoming them.
