Background
Joshua Holt Hamilton (born May 21, 1981 in Raleigh, North Carolina), commonly nicknamed "The Great Hambino" by Randy Galloway of 103.3 ESPN Radio in Dallas, is a Major League Baseball player for the Texas Rangers. He was the first overall pick in the 1999 Major League Baseball Entry Draft by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He was considered a blue chip prospect until injuries and addiction derailed his career in 2001. Prior to the 2007 season, Hamilton was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the Rule 5 Draft, and quickly traded to the Cincinnati Reds. He made his MLB debut in 2007, and had a successful rookie season. During the off-season he was again traded , this time to the Texas Rangers. Throughout the first three months of the 2008 season, he has been one of the top hitters in the American League.
