To be honest, I thought that was almost as good of a story as Hamilton's recovery and return. That dude knew how to groove them just right.
Did you hear how careful the Rangers are being with him? He has a sort of a guardian angel who stays with him pretty much all the time on the road, and he can't have more than $20 cash on him, and he gets drug tested like twice a week. Seems like due diligence on the part of Texas.
