Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton. -- on the show given that given your size judge did you play football. So. Grown up a little three members were to a baseball person here in high school played football quarterback. I was bigger than questioner. Then I felt like Tim Tebow and playoffs running from a life there put. Wait you were running for your life if if you were that big you're running over people scare in the life on the. Know -- themselves felt then no matter who knows freshman who knows -- call and vote vote lean. -- for big. If you stayed with football. Given your sons there. You that you didn't play college. Yeah Purdue I think so I enjoy. Playing receiver. Become a lot more -- a quarterback. And older brother they've played -- Kubel is quarterback. All four years and you know those tension is Fulton your and so so. A good chance. Anything that translates from us in football player to using that in baseball. There's probably breaks on the ball you know as far as taking routes and Nolan. You know -- -- -- -- -- victory -- to be. You know and isn't done yet received electors here. Over your shoulder or whatever but there's similar. He sent Josh Hamilton -- 39398. Homers nineteen RBIs what happens first somebody. That's him trying to get a batting average and be fair. I don't wanna go 400 because it's been a while how about somebody hits -- 375. Or somebody hit sixty home runs again. First. There certainly are because guys are going to hit sixty home runs and I don't picture. -- -- the judging from the numbers so far you got eight home runs that with which your high in home runs. Regular season 32. No matter mortar in the post season. But see that used to be a power hitter -- the back in the seventies and he hit thirty home runs your power hitter but I don't know if they were Murton back so score.

Familiar -- but in the and there are. Yeah well everybody else did because I mean when we were late in getting into you know how big McGwire once in a big Sosa was that. Minutes is and sometimes it's unfair to you guys that certain guys do work out some guys -- big but. Could you spot somebody who works out or somebody who needs help while they're working.
