Aug 10 (IBNS) Pictures of Josh Hamilton have made their way to the public domain, showing the Texas Rangers outfielder drunk and drinking heavily in an Arizona bar.
The pictures were snapped in a Tempe, Arizona bar last January and show Hamilton apparently having a pretty good time with a bunch of women. And none of whom is his wife!
The photos were leaked to the mega sports blog Deadspin. Josh Hamilton released this statement talking about the drunken incident:
Hamilton said: I’m embarrassed about it for my wife Katie, for my kids and for the organization. I’m not perfect. It’s an ongoing struggle, and it’s real. It’s amazing how these things can creep back in. But I am human and I have struggles. If I think I can have one drink, I think I can have two, and then it snowballs to 10 or 12. I called my support staff — Katie, the organization and MLB — and told them what happened. I was open and honest about it. People with an addiction, can make a mistake.
He said he had been clean since 2005. He said he was now a man of God. His wife, children, organization and support group sustained him. He had become an inspiration for recovering addicts about what was possible even when things appeared to be their worst.
