Posted on February 14, 2026 by davidbloom

Just a few recognizable names that heard their names called in June 1999 after high school outfielder/pitcher Josh Hamilton out off Athens High Raleigh, North Carolina was chosen by the Devil Rays with the overall top pick. That seem like forever after what he […]
