So, thanks to all who participated in the "guess what number I'm thinking of" contest yesterday... I thought about various numbers that had Rangers meaning, or something else like "42," but feared those would be too obvious. So I decided to nerd it up and picked "pi to the e." Which is 22.4591577... There were a couple or three guesses of pi, which I thought might deserve partial credit. But in the...
I just finished reading “Beyond Belief: Finding the Strength to Come Back” by Josh Hamilton (with Tim Keown). Now, I know what you’re probably thinking here; and, it’s “How can someone who is just 27-years old author their biography'” Or, maybe it’s “Aren’t you a little old to be reading baseball ‘puff piece’ books'” [...]
Book reviews was always an element I wanted to add to the site since its inception. For some reason or another, I never got around to it until now. Maybe it just took the right book. Josh Hamilton’s book just came out, and it’s called Beyond Belief: Finding the Strength to Come [...]
Okay, yesterday we did a post about the Josh Hamilton book , and I invited folks to do a post about why they should get a free copy of it from me (well, from the publisher, but you know what I mean)... I've decided that the winner is Future Pants, although there were many quality choices. I'm sure many of you will disagree with my choice, and here is your chance to rectify that. Vote in the comments...

So, the publishers of the new Josh Hamilton book have sent me a free copy to read and review. I haven't done that yet (for those who are interested, I'm currently reading Anathem). However, I plan to in the next week or so, and to post a review. The publishers also, though, have offered to make a few copies available for free to readers of LSB. So this week, we're going to do some things to select...
My Dad always says “never trust a man with two first names.” He never said anything about three first names. I guess Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson is either a gentleman or Satan in flesh. I’ve been in and out of following baseball this year, but the story of Josh Hamilton is astonishing. The guy was homeless, [...]
A sneak peak, courtesy of SI: A nonconformist? Maddon has little regard for baseball's managerial book, and he has the bases-loaded intentional walk (the one he had issued to the Rangers' Josh Hamilton in August was the first in the AL in 107 years), four-man outfields (he sometimes uses the softball alignment against sluggers like the Red Sox' David Ortiz) and unique hitting tips (he told his switch-hitters...
One day after Lackey takes a pounding, Santana gives up eight runs in 5 2/3 innings of an 8-4 loss. Josh Hamilton overtook Justin Morneau for the AL RBI lead, Nelson Cruz and Chris Davis hit consecutive home runs, and the Texas Rangers set a major league single-season record for doubles in an 8-4 victory over the Angels Saturday night at Angel Stadium.
ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Hank Blalock's homer touched off a seven-run second inning Friday that sent Texas coasting past the Los Angeles Angels 12-1. Josh Hamilton drove in two runs to boost his season total to 128 and Texas produced 19 hits against three Los Angeles pitchers. Michael Young and Marlon Byrd both drove in two runs during the second inning, allowing Vicente Padilla to pick...
As if the events of the preceding weeks weren't enough, the one possible bright spot in this shitty month was making it to the championship game in my fantasy baseball league this last Sunday. Riding a powerhouse lineup consisting of (among others) Josh Hamilton, Chase Utley, Jose Reyes, and Brandon Webb, I had cruised to a 16-8 record and was set to take my place in the fantasy firmament against...
Previous positions: First Base Second Base Shortstop Third Base Catcher This position took one of the biggest leaps forward at the major league level in 2008, largely because of the acquisition of Josh Hamilton. David Murphy, Marlon Byrd and Nelson Cruz all have performed well, and Brandon Boggs showed some promise after getting a quick call from AAA. In the minors, the story is all about two more...
Russ Gooberman wrote to tell a happy story about Major League Baseball. A month ago, I created a mashup clip of some MLB's All-Star Game Home Run Derby. Specifically, I wanted to feature the record-breaking home run streak of Texas Rangers youngster, Josh Hamilton. So, I cut up some YouTube footage of his longest homerun of the contest, and set it to the audio of the final homerun sequence of the movie,...
