Speedster nears pro steals record
MOBILE, Ala. — From the top rows of Hank Aaron Stadium, the chorus of crickets and frogs is getting loud on this damp, slow night in the Southern League. Inside the ballpark, it's pretty quiet in the late innings, with maybe 150 fans sticking around.
Until Billy Hamilton ambles to the plate.
"Here he comes!" bellows a beer-guzzling man in the box seats. "He's going to the Hall of Fame!"
Well, we know this much: Hamilton eats fast, he talks fast and man, can he run fast.
The wiry, 21-year-old rocket went into the weekend with a combined 113 stolen bases for Double-A Pensacola and Class A Bakersfield. Come Monday, he'll have 35 games left to swipe the mark of 145 set by Vince Coleman in 1983 for Macon in the South Atlantic League.
"I can't be caught," Hamilton says, nonchalantly.
