Josh Hamilton

I heard the rumor about Hamilton and a potential alcohol relapse. I hope he doesn't fall back off the wagon - he has worked too hard to get back to where he is. Any news??

Sherlocks and Kenny's are about half a mile from my house. Two of my buddies were at Sherlocks when he was there but he was leaving when they heard about him being there. Funny it is a young persons bar, kinda like a university place. Strange he would be there. News said North Dallas but both places are in Addison.

You should have shown up and bought him a beer. LOL.

The thing is no one knew it was him until he was about to leave and then he was taking pictures with customers. Sherlocks has two big rooms, he was in the other one from my buddies..My luck or I would have been posting pictures..

The transcript on his statement to the press can be found here - Foul Territory: Josh Hamilton's full statement on relapse

He is a class act. Must be tough as hell to be successful and not have any vices. Props to him for being a man.

Anyone who has went threw an addiction or had a family member go through one knows it is a tough thing to control. I was encouraged he went Tuesday to the Rangers and told them what happened. Problem is anything good or bad can trigger a fall off the wagon..

He's a good guy and I hope he makes it. I do worry about him after baseball.
