The prodigal outfielder trudged to home plate at Angel Stadium on Friday night. Josh Hamilton, an Angel for seemingly an eye-blink, returned to face the team that expelled him in a 4-2 Rangers victory. For that, all of it – the history of abuse, the history of come-and-go sobriety, the history of a handshake agreement with the owner who wouldn't let him out of it, the, ahem, history of a .255 batting average for the Angels – Hamilton was run out of town as though his presence would soil an entire franchise.
