Deep in the heart of Texas, a savior may yet rise from the ashes.
Possibly returning to the Texas Rangers' lineup this weekend: Josh Hamilton, reborn and resurrected, leaving Ranger fans rejoicing at the runs they may be scoring. It's a perfect feel-good story. Hamilton rising from the dead to lead the Rangers into the playoffs and a possible World Series appearance. The majors' leading hitter guiding his flock, perhaps to a place where no Ranger flock has gone before.
If he plays this October, Hamilton will be making quite a sacrifice. Two broken ribs is not an easy injury to overcome. Yet his presence will give the Rangers hope as they enter unfamiliar territory. With Hamilton, the Rangers are a real threat. Without him, they're a quasi-real threat. Regardless, the Yankees and Rays need to be wary of what Hamilton can do. He is a force to be reckoned with, and a godsend for the Rangers right now. His .361 average to go along with his power numbers is ungodly. His defensive ability in the outfield is inhuman. And now, he eyes a return to the baseball world. Note to other American League playoff teams: a shepherd is among you.
And he just might perform a miracle.
