Yeah that was amazing, incredible how this guy sat out 3 seasons(03-05) due to a cocaine, heroin & alcohol addiction, didn't train during that period, and here he is and breaks the single round record with 28 home runs.

Absolutely grand!  Baseball is a great game.  Josh deserved to get the cheers from the crowd. 

That young man has turned his life around.  A great role model.

Yeah just to bad he didn't win the derby, although I still consider him the winner because he by far hit the most home runs, he just lost round 3 so he technically lost.

But this guys story is just really amazing, the way he was able to turn his life around, get clean from the drugs, and become very involved in his church, and return to the MLB at the top of his game, like I heard one of the announcers say, "this guy's story is a Hollywood movie just waiting to be made".
