Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton added to his feel good / Roy Hobbs-esque legend last night by ripping a ridiculous 28 dingers in the first round of the Home Run Derby. He didn’t technically “win” the whole thing, but as far as just about anyone who witnessed the performance of the former heroine addict is concerned, he is the unanimous winner. And with Hamilton stepping into MLB super stardom last night, who needs A-Rod’s participation in the derby? Definitely not Yankees fans. They were busy drinking the Hamilton Kool-aid.

Here are ten reasons Yankees fans already like Josh Hamilton more than A-Rod:

1) Hamilton also came from Texas and it only took him one night to get into a championship round.

2) The only thing A-Rod has ever been addicted to is women who power clean.

3) Hamilton is religious in the conventional sense, not the Kabbalah sense.

4) A-Rod’s only tattoo is a butterfly tramp stamp.

5) Hamilton’s non-alcoholic beer is still way butcher than a sex on the beach.

6) The only reason Hamilton stopped at 28 homers was he couldn’t take the audience having to endure another of Chris Berman’s “Back, back, back, back, backs.”

7) “J-Ham” is catchy as hell.

8 ) Thanks to Eli, New York sports fans have seriously warmed to athletes who talk with a drawl.

9) Hamilton is on record saying he wouldn’t let Ray of Light anywhere near his iPod.

10) When Hamilton is being interviewed by Erin Andrews it’s more, “Sweetheart, if I wasn’t married and sober you would be in serious trouble right now.” With A-Rod it’s more, “Erin, you should really consider adding some whey protein to your diet.”

Congrats, Josh. Congrats.
