New Book: Beyond Belief by Josh Hamilton

With baseball season winding down, I thought it only appropriate to feature a new book by a baseball player. Josh Hamilton, center fielder for the Texas Rangers, has written a book called Beyond Belief. The Amazon description reads,

Josh Hamilton was the first player chosen in the first round of the 1999 baseball draft. He was known not only for his gargantuan homeruns, his speed on the bases and his fielding talent but also for his caring and humble character. He was destined to be one of those rare “high-character ” superstars. But in 2001, working his way from the minors to the majors,-all of the plans for Josh went off the rails in a moment of weakness. What followed was a 4-year nightmare of drugs and alcohol, estrangement from friends and family, and his eventual suspension from baseball.

Hamilton most recently hit the most homeruns in a single round of the home run derby with 28. For baseball fans, and fans of true-life recovery stories, Beyond Belief Kindle Edition is available now.
