DALLAS—Texas Rangers All-Star outfielder and former alcoholic Josh Hamilton held a press conference Friday to issue an apology to the mainstream sports media for not immediately thinking of them after suffering a relapse last week. “After this happened, I selfishly put myself and my family first, when in reality I owe you guys more than that,” said Hamilton, gesturing to the horde of reporters who quickly began peppering him with an onslaught of personal questions. “The media has always been supportive and understanding with me, and all athletes for that matter, when dealing with sensitive issues like these. And to ESPN, especially, I’d like to say I know all you want is for me to get better, so to you, I am most sorry of all.” Hamilton concluded the press conference by detailing when and where he would be seeking treatment, and requesting as much public exposure as possible during this trying time.
