Hamilton was fine

He had a walk, a single, and a long flyball out. He misplayed a ball in the outfield but made a terrific throw home on another play. He looks healthy.

Just got back from the game. Hamilton took kind of an awkward spill out in centerfield right before they pulled him. He misplayed a hit up the middle by overrunning it and when he tried to correct he lost his footing. That said, I think he’s fine. My guess is that they just wanted to be safe and/or they had only planned on him playing part of the game. Also, it was really hot out there.

Greg Golson is crazy fast.

Good number of Rangers jerseys and hats at the game

Hamilton got a nice cheer when the starting lineups were announced and whenever he came to bat. His spill in the outfield also got a nice reaction. Not a bad crowd for Mother’s Day.

Brandon Boggs is a good man

We sat in the grass behind left field. Early in the game my 4 year old son walked to the edge of the fence and called out to Boggs, who was playing LF. Even though it was between batters, Brandon heard him, turned around, raised his sunglasses and waved to my son. Very cool.

Very cool

That’s how these guys can get lifelong fans. Chet Lemon was my childhood moment.

I tried that with Mayberry a couple of years ago

He ignored me the whole game.

No way

You mean he paid attention the game he was playing in? What a douche.

Sam Horn

gave me Oreo Cookies when I was 5 at Spring Training in Orlando one year. I didn’t like the Orioles or even know who Sam Horn was, but after that I always rooted for him.

When I was kid in the 60's we were at a game in the Astrodome

I was hanging over the rail during batting practice. John Bateman cracked a bat and on the way to the dugout handed me his cracked bat with a casual " hey, kid, you want a bat?" I still have that bat

IMO the fact that John Bateman is not in the HOF is an injustice, an injustice I tell you. I know he wasnt much of a player, but HE GAVE ME A BAT
