The same fanbase where people were offering top shelf marijuana in exchange for World Series tickets has provided us with another shocker. According to Rangers center fielder Josh Hamilton, who is a former drug addict, the smell of weed was prevalent from the outfield stands during Game 1 on Wednesday night.
In addition to smelling pot coming from the stands, Hamilton told the NY Post that he and his wife could smell someone smoking weed on the street with a cop 50 yards away. I’m not so sure why a man who used to sneak cocaine vials into his spring training locker while with the Devil Rays would be surprised by blatant drug use, but I guess that’s a product of being cleaned up. Maybe he’s just unfamiliar with NorCal in general because if he knew about Prop. 19, he probably would be less surprised.
By the way, could Tim Lincecum have found a better fit as the face of a franchise? And who said AT&T Park didn’t provide a family environment?
