What a great story.

After the Texas Rangers clinched the American League East in Oakland in September, the champagne and beer celebration quickly swept through the visiting locker room. The celebration took place though without one key figure…the Rangers’ MVP-candidate outfielder Josh Hamilton. Hamilton, whose battles with substance abuse are well documented, avoided the alcohol, dressed in a side office and went back into the stands to speak to a church group about his life. But a team that has driven itself all season on unity and family made sure that no one was excluded from the party in Tampa Bay Tuesday night.

Read it all and congratulations to the Texas Rangers!
