Josh Hamilton hit 28 home runs in the 1st round of the HR derby. That broke the record by 4, and 3 were over 500 feet (there have only been 8 or so over 500 feet ever at the derby, including his 3.) Hamilton is in his first whole year back, he played some last year, after being basically near death as a heroin/cocaine addict/alcoholic. He was at the point where he was waking up in homes that he didn't recognize, with people he didn't know. There was a point where he couldn't sleep alone, bc his dreams were too bad. He still doesnt carry more than $20 in cash, bc the tempatation to use may overcome him. He has a personal "handler" to make sure he doesn't slip up...and immediately upon his return to baseball, after three years off, he may win the MVP, and just put on a show unlike any other the HR derby has ever seen. Long story, made to moderate length...
