Texas Rangers

This is a great story of a team the Texas Rangers celebrated their win of the MLB Divisional Series (which is kind of ridiculous, not that they won but that players celebrate this in the same manner as the World Series, but that's beside the point).  The story really started when the Rangers clinched a spot in the Divisional Series, they did the customary thing that baseball players do and spray booze on each other, which is a waste for sure, but fun none the less.  Well, as it's well documented and I believe I've talked about here too, one of the teams biggest stars, Josh Hamilton (one of my favorite baseball players), is recovering alcoholic and drug addict.  So to avoid the temptation, he stayed on the field and did some interviews, rather than go to the locker room.  This was pretty sad really considering his significant contributions to the team and the season.  But for once, athletes surprised and actually did some good.  The Rangers conducted their most recent celebration and playoff advancement with Ginger Ale.  Josh got to participate.  Which is a great thing, especially given the days of Albert Haynesworth, LeBron James and others' selfish behaviours.  This team changed tradition to ensure that one of their own could participate.  Hopefully others, individuals and teams, will take notice and put the team first (I put a link below).
