In a display of team unity, and deference to Josh Hamilton's well known past struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, the Texas Rangers celebrated their American League Division Series victory over the Tampa Bay Rays with a shower composed of Canada Dry ginger ale rather than the customary one of champagne and domestic beer.Texas beat Tampa Bay 5-1 in Game 5 of the ALDS to seal a spot in the American League Championship Series against the Yankees Tuesday night, and Hamilton was the last Rangers player off the field because of a television interview with TBS.
That gave his teammates more than enough of a window to break out the ginger ale in his absence, lie in wait and then douse him with it when he finally made his way into the clubhouse.
"That was cool," said Hamilton, who famously spent years out of professional baseball because of his struggles with drugs before returning to the game in 2006.
