Josh Hamilton Is currently the Texas Rangers center fielder. He previously played for the Cincinnati Reds where he had the talent to move “The Sweetest Swing in Baseball”, Ken Griffey Jr., to right field. In order to do that you must have that talent that only very few MLB players have. By definition, Josh Hamilton would be considered famous, but he is very underrated and not widely known. Josh’s life story is very underappreciated, his life after his first stint in baseball was a disaster. And what he has accomplished after that one season is truly remarkable. And that’s why Joshua Holt Hamilton is my hero.
