    Josh Hamilton: Historic Start

    posted at 5/14/2012 2:13 PM EDT

    On pace for 91 hr, 222 rbis, .402 ba, impossible number of home runs, triple crown, and the best BA since 1941.

    My hat is off.

    Lets say he somehow falls off but remains a pace that finishes with 60 hrs, 160 Rbis, and bats .360.....would that have to be considered the best Contract year of all time?

    It would be comparable to some of the greatest seasons in MLB history.

    Let's see what he does. What do you think is the most likely?

    1. HR season record
    2. Triple Crown
    3. +.400 BA

    He'll end up on the DL one or twice and his stats will fall in line

    I'd have to say the Triple Crown. 
    Hitting 0.400 for a whole season is even more rare than a triple crown and hitting over 60 hr in a season has never been done without either steroids or Mickey Mantle batting behind you.

    Will he slide to the Nation in 2013?

    He is a kid at heart.

    That's so sad it's almost funny.
    I don't think there is anyone in the majors who is less likely to be using PEDs.  The guy is a rags to riches story due to getting off of drugs.  He's not about to risk that.

    I can't argue that, but I don't think crack is the reason he's killing the ball.

    The picture above with him sliding on the tarp.  Awesome, and he is a kid at heart.  However when I first saw it though I thought he had got his new contract and was doing his best Tony Montana in a field of cocaine.  I think his ability is second to none, however I pity the team that signs him as I think he will be wasted before the ink dries.  Probably be another stupid Yanks or Sox contract.

    I did like the, "over 60 hr in a season has never been done without either steroids or Mickey Mantle batting behind you" comment. But I'll still say the most likely is breaking Bond's record.

    Triple crown? 45 years ago
    +.400 BA?  71 years ago
