JOSH HAMILTON IS SAD APPARENTLY

Apparently Josh Hamilton said that the booing from the Texas Rangers fans "hurt a bit". I mean, are you kidding?

Reading the Dallas News HERE, I found Hamilton's quote interesting talking about the Texas Rangers' fans: “It probably hurts a little bit more to know that people would just turn that quickly... You know, to think that they kind of supported you, as far as personally, [my] story, things like that. But it just tells you a lot.”

What does it tell you Josh? Are you seriously attempting to attack the fans that supported you all these years?  You don't know why they're booing? Seriously? How's this, you left Arlington for Los Angeles... FOR MONEY, not the love of fans in Texas.  Get your head out of your ass.  It's not just about you, it's about the millions of Rangers fans who supported you through thick and thin, who bought your jersey and who wanted you in Texas this year and beyond.  And then you left.

I like Josh Hamilton. I love his story. We wrote about it at BYB HERE. He rose above the darkness and made himself a better man, but his thinking on the booing is misguided.  He should have an open mind on the reasoning behind the fan's anger.

This is baseball. It's tough to get to the majors and it's tougher to stay there, I get that. But for some reason these players have to stop thinking about themselves and think about the fans that invest their time and money into these clubs.  Fans pay their salaries! The fans WANT the players to succeed and then, when money and contracts cloud the players thinking and they move to another city and make it about them. How can the athlete NOT understand the venom coming from their ex-fans mouths? 

The moral of the story is obvious... it's about the money, not the fan, isn't it?
