Hamilton has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from the year 2007 until 2017, he started with the Cincinnati Reds and eventually played for the Texas Rangers as an outfielder. Born in Raleigh, North Carolina on May 21, 1981. He played baseball for his high school, Athens Drive, before being drafted in 1999. He played successfully in the minor league system throughout 2000, but then his problems began. After being injured in a car accident in 2001, he became addicted to drugs and alcohol, and his addiction issues plagued him for the next few seasons. After appearing late to practices and games repeatedly, he was dropped, and from 2004 to 2006, he stopped playing baseball and focused on getting his personal life in order. He returned to the minor leagues in 2006 and finally made his professional league debut in 2007 with the Cincinnati Reds. He is a four-time MLB All-Star and American League Most Valuable Player in 2010. In the year 2013, he became one of the players of the Los Angeles Angels. In his first year with the team, he played 151 games batting .250 with 32 doubles, 21 home runs, and 79 RBI. On January 16, 2017, Texas re-signed Hamilton to a minor-league deal, with intentions of him trying out for the first base. However, on April 21, 2017, the Texas Rangers released Hamilton after a revelation that he suffered a right knee injury while he was under rehabilitation for the left knee.
