Alden: Hamilton on his first game with Angels (2013)

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

 "Not really. You get those little jitters, I guess, when you're walking up to the plate, get your first at-bat, first live pitching, that sort of thing. But it was a fun day. It's just a different environment, man. I'm excited to be a part of it."

Alden left out this quote:

 

"Wow, it's great playing in front of real baseball fans."

Too blessed to be able to get a hit in his debut with the Angels.

Josh was pretty loose today.  On his third AB he took Trumbo's bat away from him on the on deck circle (this was after Trumbo tripled with it), and flew out to center.  Then Trumbo cracked it in his AB following Josh.

Yeah, they were talking about it on the postgame.  Guess what happened was, Hamilton only brought 3 bats.  He broke one in batting practice.  And 2 during the game.  

 

He sounded quite relieved that he didn't break Trumbo's bat.  Of course if Trumbo goes 0-20 now, we know who to blame.

Jeez, another Hamilton thread.
