The real Josh Hamilton has finally stood up.
The Texas outfielder finally took the Twitter plunge on Tuesday, citing the number of fake “Josh Hamilton” accounts as his prime reason. Said Hamilton,
“I had to do it, man, when somebody’s got 12,000 followers and are acting like they’re me… it’s terrible.”
“I guess it would be good to have an official deal so fans can know it’s actually a note from me or a response from me. I’m just sick of having to take people off of Twitter that are acting like me who aren’t me. It’s not right for the fans.”
Hamilton is quickly closing in on the 50,000 follower mark with no signs of slowing down. Patriots WR Wes Welker made headlines when he gained 65,000 followers during his first 24 hours on the social networking service, so it will be interesting to see how Hamilton’s first day matches up.
Personally, I wouldn’t advise following Hamilton unless you enjoy a daily fix of bible verses. Check out his latest three tweets.
