NakamuraJosh Hamilton Week: Day 3
For Day 1, click here
Josh Hamilton's father, Tony Hamilton, quit his job when his new boss said he had to stay at work despite the fact he finished his work for the day. Tony Hamilton left because Josh had a game.
Clay Council, the pitcher for Hamilton in the 2008 home run derby, was actually the assistant coach of Josh's brother's baseball team. Josh Hamilton asked Council to pitch for the home run derby right after he got drafted. Hamilton also spelled his name wrong, so Council wore a jersey reading C-O-U-N-S-I-L when pitching.
Josh Hamilton Quote of the Day: "Baseball is a game of failure. You can't expect to succeed every time you go to the plate, or strike out every hitter, or throw out every baserunner. Accepting failure was the toughest lesson I had to learn. I was so hard on myself I had to fight the urge to expect perfection"
