Baseball Player

The Resume

    (May 21, 1981- )
    Born in Raleigh, North Carolina
    1st overall selection in 1999 MLB Draft
    Played for the Tampa Bay Rays, Cincinnati Reds and Texas Rangers

Why he might be annoying:

    He was addicted to cocaine, and stated that he has probably tried every drug on the street.
    His cocaine abuse nearly threw away his pro career.
    He claims he has tried to commit suicide three or four times in his life.
    Tampa Bay gave him a $3.96 million dollar signing bonus upon drafting him, and he threw that money away.
    He once burned his left hand with four lit cigarettes.
    His arms are covered in tattoos.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is now drug-free.
    After cleaning up his life, he was given a second chance with the Cincinnati Reds, and made an immediate impact for the team.
    Although he says he has tried nearly every drug, he said the one thing he refused to try was steroids.
    He is left-handed.
    In an attempt to catch a foul ball thrown by Hamilton into the stands, a 39-year-old Texas Ranger fan died after falling over a railing and landing head first on concrete 20 feet below. The fan was with his 6 year old son, who Hamilton could hear screaming for his dad (July 7, 2011).
    He became the 16th player in MLB history to hit 4 home runs in a game (May 8, 2012).
