Hamilton Relapse

[Homerunsox2005]

Josh Hamilton had an alcohol relapse earlier this week. He said he was sorry, and it will never happen again. This is his second relapse since he came back into the league after being an addict and banned.

Thoughts?

I hate when people say, "Oh, he has a great story that we can all learn from.", when he really hasn't made a whole lot of progress if he's still relapsing.

He's human; everyone makes mistakes. He still has a great story.

Sad to hear this...I think this will (in the end) make him stronger, though.

It will happen again. It's still a great story. I have a feeling this will be a factor in deciding his future with the Rangers though.

It's a good thing it's an alcohol relapse, and not an illegal drug.
That would be even more harmful to his career.

I assume he will be ready for ST, right?
