It seems like just about everyone in the blogosphere is talking about Josh Hamilton and his Herculean efforts of this past week.And why not?All dude did was bat .467 (14-for-30) with nine home runs and 18 RBI. Oh, and let's not forget that, in the process, Texas Rangers slugger became just the 16th player ever to go deep four times in one game.One guy watching Hamilton's achievements very closely is his former teammate, Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson...and he hit the Twitters to let his followers know how he feels.
I know a lot of people might want to pitch around hamilton, but their lineup is too good. He might break bonds record this year, no joke
Through 33 games, the 2010 American League MVP has 18 home runs. But how does that compare to some of the more prolific home run seasons of note?

Hamilton uses pink bat instead of homer-heavy one
Josh Hamilton is going pink at the plate.
Like most major leaguers on Mother's Day, the Texas Rangers slugger is using a pink bat Sunday night. He struck out swinging in the first inning in the series finale against the Los Angeles Angels.
For Hamilton, that meant not using the bat with which he said he hit eight of his nine home runs the previous six games. That bat was authenticated...

May 14, 2012
Last week, Josh Hamilton became the 16th player in Major League Baseball History to hit four home runs in a game. Since the beginning of Major League Baseball there have been over 200,000 games played and over 13 million at-bats. Hamilton did something that happened over 15 times before him. That made me wonder, what is more rare than a four home run game.
There are many special...

Joey Votto and Josh Hamilton: A Study in Contrast
It has been a good week for the 2010 MVPs. On May 8th, 2010 AL MVP Josh Hamilton hit four home runs in a single game, becoming jus the 16th player in basball history to do so.

Hamilton currently leads all of baseball in batting...
Angels had no business challenging Hamilton
ARLINGTON, Texas The Los Angeles Angels decided to challenge the best hitter in baseball when they didn't have to. Already trailing by four runs in the fourth inning, Angels manager Mike Scioscia allowed his ace, Jered Weaver, to pitch to Josh Hamilton with one out and runners on second and third.
Weaver may have thrown a no-hitter earlier this month, but he had just given...
Why Hamilton doesn't get Becket treatment
For all the uproar over Josh Beckett's ill-timed golf outing, Josh Hamilton's headfirst slide on a wet tarp in Baltimore last week was probably the more reckless act.
Hamilton missed a series in Toronto from April 30 to May 2 with a sore back, yet received virtually no criticism for frolicking with his teammates in the rain just one week later.
The difference?
