MLB, Josh Hamilton and Me

Have I mentioned yet my new favorite channel on TV? MLB Network—every baseball fan’s dream station … all baseball all the time.

I get to watch classic games, games I remember watching as a boy, and get to see some of the greatest players of all-time looking back on their careers. (In fact, there was a great interview just the other day with Tommy John, the guy the famous pitching arm surgery was first performed on and named after.) And, now of course, there are spring training scores and highlights and in-depth features on each team.

And just last night, MLB aired a great piece on Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton and his amazing story ... from out-of-this-world prospect to cocaine addict, and by the grace and mercy of God, now one of the best players in the game.

As a kid, I always dreamed of making it to the MLB, being a five-tool talent like Josh. Well, last night I made it to the bigs. I was on the MLB Network! In the story about Josh, they included a clip of the two of us talking at PowerLunch here at Prestonwood last fall.

I’m sure I’ll see a lot more of Josh on MLB Network. As for me … not so much.

P.S. If you missed the MLB Network piece, it will re-air Wednesday, March 4, at noon. Set your DVR!
