If he hadn’t battled so many demons early on in his career I really think he’d be on the top 10 all time home runs list. His swing was effortless yet heavy and beautiful. Reminds me of Griffey. Moving to LA was not good for him mentally and he fell off from his Rangers days, but he had one of the best short stretches of all time.

This will be the closest any man comes to 5 in a game. The double had too much top spin to get out of the park, but could have if he'd hit it a little more square. Double was close. And don't forget, the previous game Josh had ended his night 3-4 with his last AB resulting in a HR the 9th inning of the last game. He was 6-6 with 5 HR in that game + prior AB. That's why the Manager Showalter of the Oriels said "Hamilton went berserk!"

Josh has the talent to be one of the greatest of all time. Just sad how his off the field issues kept him from achieving that. My team was lucky to have him for a few yrs. Best of luck to him

You know... at that time, I thought Ham was the best player alive. Too bad his head got screwed on backwards. Still, I remember that game well... and Baltimore fans moved way up on my list. That was very classy to give him a standing-O

the same happened in Milwaukee when Shawn Green played for the Dodgers and went 6 for 6 with 4 homeruns. All 200 Brewers fans in the stands were giving Green a standing ovation whenever he came to the plate after like his 2nd home run lol I don't blame them, I wouldn't care if a player was on a team I despised I would cheer for a performance like that. Baseball is VERY much a individuals game and individuals deserve recognition. The coaches don't hit the ball, the GM doesn't hit the ball, the player on deck doesn't hit the ball (during current AB) it's all about the individual. I give major props to Josh Hamilton even though he plays on a team I love to hate. He's actually played on 2 teams I've loved to hate. But made respect nonetheless.

When the Rangers scored 30 runs in one game against the O's, it was 27-3 I believe, and one of the Rangers hit a 3 run shot and I remember the O's fans clapping and cheering at that as well. Lol

Same as Darrell Strawberry of the Mets. Just a damn shame these guys can't keep their minds right. This was the closest thing in real life I ever saw to the final scene from "the natural" movie. Hamilton in 2008-2012 was all time monster mode. This guy won MVP in 2010 and missed 5 weeks with injury!

Special talent. Addiction robbed us of something truly special. He had that sound coming off his bat that you don't here often. He could have been what griffey jr was in his prime. Such an effortless swing with so much pop. He wasn't the fielder Griff was but man what a hitter
