The 2010 American League MVP, Josh Hamilton revised his career as a superstar slugger who would become one of the most feared hitters of the early 2010’s.  While his overall career would not be what many had hoped for when he was much younger, he would still become a major force for the Texas Rangers and a four-time Silver Slugger.  Hamilton, who blasted 150 Home Runs with Texas, was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2019.
