Before They Were Stars
Before These Baseball Players Were All-Stars, They Had To Get Through High School
They say baseball is America's pastime. (We don't know who “they” are either. Sorry. We're working on it.) July marks the middle of a long season for the boys of summer. For us, it's a good excuse to play a game of “Who Am I?” with some of your favorite players that represent their teams on the diamond. Can you guess who's who? Check out these pics to find out!

Josh Hamilton—Now
Josh Hamilton gets tested for performance-enhancing drugs more than any other player, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, because of a past that includes a “debilitating plunge into the abyss of addiction—painkillers, recreational detritus, and booze.” (Purple prose alert!) This year, the 31-year-old who wears number 32 for the Texas Rangers is headed to the All-Star Game with more votes than anyone has ever received—11.1 million of them. Don’t call it a comeback… actually, you can call it a comeback. Because it is.
