I find it such an American tale these two.
Hamilton is a former drug addict and alcoholic. Hamilton missed years of his career fighting his demons and almost lost his career. Now he took the Rangers to the World Series for the first time and won his first MVP.
Votto missed time last year battling depression after the death of his father. Apparently he has had bouts with the malady before. At one point they did not know whether he would return to the game.
I find these 'comebacks' to be the new American Dream. America loves a good comeback and these guys both earned their awards, as well as our praise for overcoming personal adversity of this magnitude to succeed in their chosen endeavors.
Do you believe this was, what is Lady Gaga?
Terrible transformation, eh?
Finally, a Happy Turkey Day to everyone. Travel safely, eat well, unbutton that top button.
