I read that the latest "big" baseball headline is "Josh Hamilton was seen Drinking". Newsworthy? Probably not, leave the guy alone,but sad none the less. I am a Red Sox fan first, but a baseball fan in general. I respect good players in the league and was glad to see such a fine player overcome some demons from his past. It would be a shame if he were to become addicted again and let his career go down hill. If he has relapsed, I hope he is open to help and he gets it and realizes that many fans of baseball are behind him.
I have never been addicted to drugs or alcohol so I don't know what it's like, so I can't judge a person for it. I have never done something that inadvertently got someone killed, such as Josh throwing a foul ball to a fan and then the man falling to his death in front of his young son. I felt awful for Josh and for the man's family. This was a tragic accident and I can't possibly comprehend what went through Josh's mind after the incident nor how he has been able to deal with it.
Hopefully the media won't blow it way out of proportion and just let him get help and hopefully be on the right track for this upcoming season.
This fan wishes Josh the best in coping with that incident and hopes he can be strong enough to overcome once again.
