MLB News: Josh Hamilton says the Holy Spirit told him about World Series Homer

Former MLB superstar Josh Hamilton said the Holy Spirit told him to hit a home drive in the World Series in 2011.

Rangers played St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series in 2011, and while on the deck, the Holy Spirit told him to hit a home drive, Hamilton said.

“The Holy Spirit told me on the deck that I was about to hit a home drive because it is … I hadn’t hit one in a while and I was like ‘ok.’ First pitch, Whack, “Hamilton said during a performance on Pakinomist'” Will Cain Country.

Hamilton’s home drive gave Rangers a 9-7 lead in the 10th round of Game 6. They were up 3-2 in the series at that time. However, Rangers couldn’t shut out the game and they lost the World Series in seven games.

Hamilton was not always with the Lord. Al MVP in 2010 remembered that he was high on drugs when his grandmother delivered him a message that the Lord let him hear.

“I love my grandmother more than anything else. And for the first time, all the things my parents had told me she had told me – ‘Hi we love you. You are better than this. You can do great things. We believe in you.’ – All these things that I have been told, and I was actually high when she talked to me, I feel like the Lord just clears his head and actually let me hear it.

“And that was when hey, I walked into the back bedroom, closed the door, dug the Bible out of the closet, threw it on the bed. James 4: 7’s first verse I read: Humble even for God, resist the devil and he would flee from you. And that was when I gave my life to the Lord. But I began to do the things I should do. Was, as was, as was, experienced in their relationship with their relationship with the relationships they were in their relationship with doing it.

Hamilton, a top perspective with Tampa Bay Rays, treated problems with drug abuse. In 2003, he was away from the team for personal reasons. In 2004, he was suspended for violating drug policy and did not play all season.

Hamilton also did not play in 2005 when he tried to ramp up to play again and was placed on the limited list of The Rays. Hamilton debuted with MLB with Cincinnati Reds in 2006.

He was traded for Rangers the next season and became a superstar. Hamilton made all-star game five consecutive years and won AL MVP in 2010.

Hamilton did not play in MLB after 2015 and found his name in the headlines for off-the-Field questions soon after.

In 2019, Hamilton was indicted for injury to a child after being charged with physical assault by his eldest daughter. Hamilton pleaded guilty to illegal restraint, a wrongdoing.

However, he said he had evidence of being innocent but would not cause his children to testify and make his family sit in front of a jury.

“Imagine being accused of something you didn’t do, and then having to, let’s see you have proof that you didn’t do it so you can clean it up. You’re innocent. But then after deciding because you’ve got one then that is in the election year, you can’t look like she’s going bright over you,” Hamilton said.

“Should I pull my other two younger daughters in (a courtroom) and they will have to testify and everything. I won’t be a good father. I fall on the proverbial sword here for my family and let them shut down this thing when it comes to them and keep them out of the media and hold me back and forth with my ex in the media and let them live their lives and go on and take it.
