Josh Hamilton Facts

Since I've been ripping off the Chuck Norris facts for the game-day threads, I thought we could come up with our own Josh Hamilton "facts."

For starters:

* Bud Selig didn't stop the 2002 All Star Game because the managers ran out of pitchers, they got word that Josh Hamilton had changed the channel.

* On the day he was born, Josh Hamilton's line was: .367/.653/1.097.

* Before calling strikes, umpires ask for Josh Hamilton's permission.

* Josh Hamilton once hit a ball over the fence in Anaheim... from Tampa.

Anyone else?

Hamilton is so good, women can’t handle his long shots from his wood.

In a move to cut down on counterfeiting, the Dept. of Treasury is replacing Alexander Hamilton with Josh Hamilton on the $10 bill. There is only one Josh Hamilton.

“North Texas High Wind Advisory” is just another way of saying “Josh Hamilton Batting Practice.”

i think the issue is

that hamilton hits them really high up into the air. I think distance traveled doesn’t give as accurate an account

Josh Hamilton Fact

On one of my fantasy baseball teams, I put everyone on the bench but Josh Hamilton, and I’m leading the league in Wins, Saves and ERA.

Hamilton Facts

Hamilton has to pay a quarter of his salary to replace windshields of cars which are hit by his home runs, and the club pays for the ones in batting practice.

Hamilton doesn’t use a bat, he just swats the ball out of the yard with his hands.

When Hamilton is at the plate and the call is made to the bullpen, everyone is too afraid to answer.

When Hamilton comes to the plate, the pitcher dons catchers gear. And so do the rest of the fielders.

People look back into history and say, “That Babe Ruth was certainly no Josh Hamilton”

After healing the sick and walking on water, Josh Hamilton likes to park a pitch into the bleachers each day.

more stupid hamilton facts.

Hamilton doesn’t swing and miss, the balls get scared and run away.

Hamilton gets intentionally walked with the bases loaded .

Hamilton doesn’t need PED’s, he needs a warning label.

It's the Walker, Texas Ranger / Chuck Norris lever

It brings up clips from the show, out of context. It’s really hilarious.

To save time, whenever Josh gets a cleat stuck in the turf, he just rips his foot off. They always grow back.

Josh’s glove is made from the skin of a velociraptor he genetically engineered and then killed with his bare hands.

Hamilton

once meditated on the name Drew Meyer. Drew hit 25 consecutive home runs in batting practice that day. Unfortunately that was the day before the Rangers drafted him.

...and curse Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid git.

To honor Josh batting third in the order, Jesus rose from the dead on the third day.

by UrbanDad on May 7, 2008 7:16 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs

Josh Hamilton nicknamed his bat “Daisy,” everyone else on the team nicknamed theirs “Josh Hamilton.”

“Walker, Texas Ranger” stopped production seven years before Josh Hamilton arrived because it was determined that no one could handle that much awesomeness that close together.

This thread had grown tiresome until Josh Hamilton himself posted on it.

brettgardner's mom is a stupid bitch.

Every loss is one step closer to the top of the 2009 draft!

Sexson

Hamilton’s arrival to the pile made Sexson immediately burst into tears.
