Josh Hamilton – 5/8/2012

In what seems to be his last hurrah as a major league ball player, it was certainly his last memory with the Texas Rangers. Before he signed his 5 yr, $125 million contract with the division rival Angels, Josh Hamilton became the 16th player in history to hit four home runs in a single game.

Playing in Baltimore against the Orioles, Hamilton hit his first two of the night against starter Jake Arrieta, before he became that bearded goddess that now resides in Chicago. Adding one off of reliever Zach Phillips, he then got a chance at the Darren O’Day.

"“I just went up like it was any other at-bat because if I don’t hit one, I’ve still had a really good night.” via ESPN.com"

Well a good night got even better when Hamilton launched his fourth of the night, inscribing himself in the history books for ever. We’ve been looking for him ever since.
