Hamilton Looks to Give Back


Josh Hamilton this season is on pace to have over 150 RBI's in his second full season as a Major League Baseball player. He will be in the Home Run Derby Monday night and has been voted to start in his first All-Star Game on Tuesday in New York. He has had a long road to get to this point we all know this. But what we do not know is that Hamilton has help along the way from alot of people. But the person that Hamilton will thank on Monday long time coach and friend Clay Council from North Carolina American Legion. He is 71 years old and will pitch to Hamilton in the Home Run Derby. Council would throw batting practice to Hamilton as a teenager back in North Carolina. Hamilton this season has hit 21 home runs this season and is a favorite to win the Home Run Derby.
