Vladimir Guerrero wins Edgar Martinez Designated Hitter Award

Vladimir Guerrero

Here is Vladimir Guerrero getting some love from Ron Washington. There was alot of that in 2010 for Vlad as he contimued to produce at an All Star level after being traded to the Rangers from the Angels. All that love and dedicated hard work paid off and now he is the 2010 Edgar Martinez Designater Hitter Award winner. His presence in the line up as a free swinger helped protect Josh Hamilton, Nelson Cruz and even Ian Kinsler to make the Texas Rangers one of the highest run producing clubs. Guerrero batted .306 with 25 home runs, 106 RBIS and scored 73 times in 129 games at the DH spot on his way to helping the Texas Rangers to the World Series. 

Thanks Vlad for a great award winning season!

Josh Hamilton "Hambone" in a Texas Rangers jersey has put his past aside and shown great leadership and perseverance to now put him in an elite class of major leaguers winning the Al MVP award. The monumental homeruns and the diving catches have molded Josh into not only an allstar to the fans at the Ballpark of Arlington but in the eyes of the purest baseball minds in earning this award. As I had the luxury of sitting in the third row first base side of the stadium at Rangers games down the stretch, I watched Josh come of the field and into the dugout and witnessed the joy of playing baseball in a man that had once walked away from the game. The talents that Hamilton possess have always been there as his number one draft pick in 1999 by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays would admit. But, 2010 was Josh's year to shine and shine all the way with the help of his teamates to the World Series. The nation knows Josh as a ball player, but the people of Texas know him not for just a ballplayer but, as a humble survivor who made his life a winner. IamSecond is his life, for all of us fans of baseball what a blessing that is so we can see the greatness of Josh Hamilton!

Cover:

Back when they partied like it was 1999, Sports Illustrated saw into the future and put a first ballot Hall of Famer on the cover. With outstretched arms and showing you why he is one of the greatest by guarding Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers another Hall of Famer in the making.

Off the Pine:

Mini Articles:

• Mia Hamm - US Womens' Soccer
• John Landy  - A World Record Miler

On the Court:

An outstanding 10 page spread on The Indy 500 and A. J. Foyt through the years. Incredibly written by A. J. Foyt himself and accompanied with Anne Fornoro.  Illustrations of many cars raced from the late 50's through the late 90's. An amazing run of the legend. Here is a pic I found on the net of A. J. Foyt Winning the 1964 Indy 500!

Dribbling on Down the Court:

Getting center stage is the 1999 NBA Playoff Coverage. With the main man of the day Tim Duncan featured leading it off taking care of the losing Lakers. Turning the page we find the Indiana Pacers "86'd the 76ers" in their battle for the title.

Next we get into baseball and on the mound with Cy Young winner Greg Maddux having a tough year.

From the mound to the outfield, and there we find Luis Gonzalez of the Arizona Diamondbacks swinging away.

It must be getting cold because we are going to the ice and finding NHL Playoffs and rookies Milan Hejduk and Chris Drury of the Colorado Avalanche. Both still Playing! Buffalo Sabres and the loss of Dominick Hasek played well and beat the Toronto Mapleleafs.

Finally I can get out of my winter coat and check out the sisters Venus and Serena Williams. With all the grand slams covered the father had a tennis goldmine in his two daughters.
