Josh Hamilton Update

I went to the Dr Pepper ballpark in Frisco tonight to watch Josh Hamilton take some at bats for the Roughriders in his rehab assignment. Hamilton was the designated hitter and batted leadoff for Frisco. He looked decent at the plate, going 1-4 with an RBI single and a walk.


When Josh led off the game, the first three pitches he saw weren't anywhere near the strike zone. I don't even know the guy's name who was pitching for Corpus Christi, but I couldn't help but think (along with the rest of the crowd) that he was purposefully avoiding pitching to Josh because he didn't want to give up a 500-ft homerun. So, I took the opportunity to do a little heckling and did my best to verbally persuade the pitcher to throw strikes.

On a side note, Josh's wife Katie was about 5 or 6 rows behind us in the stands.
