The list goes on and on of guys like them cheating and being awful role models. But Josh being Josh? He is the perfect example of wasted potential. Whether or not this last fall off the wagon has had any part in his fall from baseball slugging heroics, at least it is a great teaching tool for showing kids (and real people) what NOT to do. Let's hope he can stay clean and tear some Angels pitchers a new one in this last 7 weeks! Screw the Wild Card. How incredible would it be if Hammy came a clubbing and helped his squad take the West? Only 4 games out right now... If people want to hate on a ballplayer for “using,” they should feel free to judge Manny for being Manny or Ortiz for being Ortiz.
