  3. hambone is an imperfect human but got dam it was fun to watch him mash that shit

    Rangers story incomplete without his name in bold

  5. It’s good for the fans, but kinda funny for the Rangers HOFers that once they decided to have the jackets, they have to show up at the park to pick it up like if they won the gift card for guessing the number of M&Ms in a jar.

  7. Man I’m torn on this one, his exit and the way he went about it was terrible but man that dude could obliterate the ball

  10. Josh is one of the most naturally talented players I’ve ever seen and, for a brief moment, also one of the best on the field

    Going out of your way to honor a child abuser sure is a choice

  18. My favorite moment was the game where he hit 4 straight dingers. Too bad he couldn’t kick the DR pepper, am I right?

  19. I don’t care how far he could hit a baseball, he’s a child abusing druggie and a piece of trash.

  20. I LOVED watching him play but being convicted of abusing your children means you don’t get nights like this anymore

  22. Lot of people minimizing child abuse rn.

    He hit his daughter. I don’t care how hard he hit a baseball.

  23. Should have just mailed it to him if they wanted him to have one. I wouldn’t feel right attending that night.

  26. Not for me. I wouldn’t be there if they gave me free tickets.
    He was one of the most exciting players to see in person but his life has not justified being part of the Rangers Hall of Fame.

  28. Idk man… maybe I’m just becoming a grumpy old man, but I’m not really a fan. I feel like he was given all the support and love here. Then to say we aren’t a baseball town (even if what he said held some truth to an extent) and go to the angels. That always left a bad taste in my mouth. He was great when he was here but don’t think I’ll ever go back to being a fan of his.

  29. Is it… normal to have a HoF induction ceremony, then get a jacket ceremony several years later?

  30. It’s a yikes from me, dawg. Don’t feel good about this at all.

  31. I was this dude’s biggest fan back in the day, but fuck him. Grown men who assault their children are genuine pieces of shit.

  33. I loved josh when he was hitting bombs not his daughter. Fuck Hamilton and the horse he rode in on. He’s a massive piece of human shit. I hope he hears the boos

  36. Hell yea still think he’s the best player to ever do it! I’m a little bias though

  37. He was inducted into the Rangers Hall of Fame in 2019. Why the jacket now?
