Why Don't You Invite Me In?

Congratulations to Mr. Andrew Tuegel for correctly naming "Running to Stand Still" by U2 as the Tuesday Song of the Day.

Rangers center-fielder, and the true 2008 Homerun Derby Champion, Josh Hamilton may or may not win the American League M.V.P. this year, but given the enormity of the honor he recently received, I doubt he's too concerned.
Am I referring to the fact that Cincinnati Reds' supporters lamented the fact that they were losing "Roy Hobbs" when they traded Hamilton to the Rangers last year in exchange for pitcher Edison Volquez? Trust me, it's a true honor to be referenced in the same breath as the man who swung the "Savoy Special", but despite those lofty words, Hamilton will be remembered for one thing:

Next time you're out at the ballpark, you'll have a chance to purchase a new item for sale: the Hambino Sandwich, named after Rangers All-Star outfielder Josh Hamilton, of course.

The sandwich: Grilled, crispy French bread, filled with thinly sliced baked ham, topped with sauteed onions, provolone and spicy pepper-jack cheeses, finished with a creamy Dijon mustard sauce. They just brought samples around the press box. It's really good.

All for the price of $8.75. For the rest of the season, you can purchase the sandwich in Section 27.--Brandon George of the Rangers Blog at the Dallas Morning News.

If there's anyone who can evaluate the merits of food, it's sportswriters.
