Josh Hamilton Records Four Homers, Historic Hits Leave Rangers Perplexed, GreenBeanBuddy.com Says


Ft Worth, TX (PRWEB) May 12, 2012

In a game with the Orioles on Tuesday night, Josh Hamilton scored more home runs than Albert Pujols, LATimes.com reported. The Texas Rangers’ outfielder hit four homers, the report stated. And according to the entertainment news site GreenBeanBuddy.com, his historic feat left his own team perplexed.

Specifically, the report said that Hamilton made four home runs and eight run batted ins during the game. On the other hand, highly paid Pujols only made a record of one home run and nine run batted ins so far in the season, detailed the report.

But while many were awed with Hamilton’s Tuesday game performance, others used his single game record to make jokes on Pujols, the report added. Additionally, based on a separate post from USAToday.com, GreenBeanBuddy shared that Hamilton’s four home runs left Rangers bewildered whether to let him go or to keep him in the team.

Here’s a part of the post “Josh Hamilton Recorded Four Homers in One Game” from GreenBeanBuddy.com.

Tuesday night was huge for Texas Rangers Josh Hamilton. In a game against the Baltimore Orioles, the number 23 outfielder recorded four home runs and eight RBIs. His hits made him the 16th player to have four homers in a game in the major league history.

But while the smashing record was undoubtedly a good thing for Hamilton, his lucky streak became a quite a mockery for Angels Albert Pujols. Though much more highly paid, Pujols current record for the season is only one HR and 9 RBI. And that MLB fans were quick to point out in comparison with Hamiltons hot start.
