Impressive.
It's good to hear the story of someone turning their life around after they fucked it up oh so very badly.

Coming from AA with a 3 season break ...
Because he fucking went on a four million dollar booze/ coke/ heroin binge, hahahah. Yes, it's a great story - but let's not gloss over why he wasn't in the majors this entire time after being drafted number one in 99.

"i record is just a record. look who one thank-you-very-much. mn represent. "
Who "one?" The guy that shouldn't have been there. The guy with 13hr when there are/were plenty of guys higher up on the count and got snubbed. Ala Pat Burrell, Ryan Howard, Adam Dunn, Jermaine Dye, etc.
And Chase Utley rules by the way:
- if you think Adam Dunn should be there ahead of Josh Hamilton you are deluded. Adam Dunn is hitting what .225?– planet011/3
  like 230?– planet012/3
  I was talking about Mourneau. "mn represent" I thought was the clue.– jasontroj3/3

Also ... congratulations, you're not a junkie anymore.
You still have someone follow you wherever you go, or hang out with you constantly because you still don't trust yourself.
I like how he thanked G-d after he lost, haha.
A lot of athletes forget that. Like when people win they are all like, "I'd like to thank the Lord Jesus Christ through all things are possible."
To the fucking dejected losers who never get the chance to go, "I'd like to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for ... uh ... shit. The opportunity? The opportunity to show to the world I'm, you know ... the second best ball whacker guy? Thanks Jesus. Thanks a lot. You know, I would have liked to win, but whatever. You work in mysterious ways. Wait, what? What's that Jesus? Oh I'm a fucking toolbag? You don't want me sullying your name for personal gain? Wait, wait, wait ... dude what the fuck, 'Barefoots' my ass! Come the fuck on J-Man!"
- It's a great story. I'm glad he talks to kids and shit to help them not go down his destructive path, but seriously.– flavorful1/8
  It's basically a big fuck you to every athlete who didn't fuck up their lives, and everyone around theirs.– flavorful2/8
  The way everyone talks about it like he's the greatest person in the world.– flavorful3/8
  And he could be, haha. He certainly seems genuine and enjoying every minute of his life now.– flavorful4/8
  But sportscasters and reporters blow this out of proportion. I mean fuck, Joe Mauer was the #1 pick ...– flavorful5/8
  He didn't pick up a fucking crack pipe, but you won't hear Joe Morgan or Chris Berman say word one about him.– flavorful6/8
  flavorful please put down the coffee.– PIITB7/8
  Haha, I don't even drink coffee or caffeine really.– flavorful8/8

The post-contest interview order says it all...
"No you wait there Morneau, Hamilton is the real winner here!"
Junkie, addict, whatever, he's a beast and should be the winner. Those rules should be changed to an overall tally of hrs!!!

Perhaps a change should be in order, because there really is no point to keep going when he did in the 1st round (and 2nd...). We see it year in, and year out where someone who wants to give the crowd a show (which is what the whole thing is) hits a wall when it counts.
Also, I liked Joe Morgan's idea about the Silver Ball for Out #8, which would be similar to the Gold Ball at Out #9.
There is a different mindset when you're hitting with some wiggle room. Almost every hitter showed that again as well.
- I usually want to punch Joe Morgan, but the HR Derby is his most tolerable event.– jasontroj1/3
  YES. Joe Morgan is annoying as all hell.– stoplying2/3
  Agreed. Bring back Harold Reynolds and Kenny Mayne for baseball!!! So what the former sexually harasses broads!– flavorful3/3

Did you watch the HR Derby in HD last night?
It looked like a video game, with the camera shot from behind the pitcher. It was sick! Well done ESPN. Plus they had a lot of great angles of all the shots...
- Is there anything other than HD? Like ... some sort of PPV? Poor People Vision.– flavorful

let's not forget 71 year old Clay Counsil serving up 54 meatballs for Hamilton to knock out.
- Haha yea, that was awesome!– flavorful
