Johnson should've used two hands ("like his Momma taught him" as Stu Scott would say).
So the horsey triple crown was a bust. Who thinks a baseball triple crown is in Josh Hamilton's future? He's 7th in the AL for batting average (.315, which is not as far behind AL leader Milton Bradley as it sounds). 1st by a wide gap for RBIs (68). And he's the AL leader in homers as well (17). Although he's #1 in HRs, I'd say that'd be the stat that may cost him. Manny, Bradley, Carlos Quentin, and Jason Giambi are all great sluggers.
I'm rooting for him to pull it off, honestly. Lots of games left, but if the planets align and the Cubs make the series and a clean player makes a great achievement, it will only help further the game from the steroid era.
