Josh Hamilton - Again!

In case you didn't know, Josh Hamilton the outfielder for the Texas Rangers and the player JT and Zach were tracking last year during our Baseball Odyssey, injured his ribs a few weeks ago. He just happened to be in town on Sunday to do some rehab with the Oklahoma City Red Hawks.

JT waited patiently at the start of the game by the locker room but Josh went to the field without signing an autographs. JT and his buddies spent the entire game on the berm by center field waving to Josh and tyring to coax a ball from the Red Hawks bullpen.

After the 8th inning, Josh left the game and Rick and JT ran over to try and get an autograph.





After JT got Josh's autograph, Rick picked up Zachy so Zach could say hi to Josh. Josh turned to see Zachy and said "aren't you one of the kids I've been waiving at in center field?" Zachy thought that was one of the coolest things ever. Although Zach was mad that Josh didn't sign his Astros hat but we didn't want to push our luck and there were plenty of other people waiting for their turn.
After the autograph, JT ran back to the center field berm and at the end of the game, got the ball from the bullpen he had been waiting for. It was a great mother's day.
