MVP

As I watch the Rangers/Red Sox game tonight, going to extra innings and here is Hamilton's night so far: 4 for 5 with 8 total bases, a homer, a double, 4 runs, 2 amazing catches in center field, and just now scored from 2nd base on an infield hit; yes I said infield hit. As Grieve just said on the air: "if you have any doubt about who is the best player in baseball this year, then you haven't been watching our games, no one else is even close". He is absolutely the definition of a 5-tool player. Just scary having him play center because he dives for so many balls and hits the wall so many times. Tonight is one of the best 1-game performances by 1 player you'll ever see.

His final at bat he drew a walk and stole 2nd. For more perspective see Jacque Taylor's column this morning: "Hamilton Delivers a Game for the Ages".
