Disturbing Details Emerge From Former MLB Star Josh Hamilton's Child Abuse Case

We learned earlier on Wednesday that Josh Hamilton was arrested and charged with a felony injury to a child, but, beyond that, information was scarce.

It didn't take long for more to surface, as we now have further details from an arrest-warrant affidavit, and the recount provided by the victim (his daughter) is unsettling, to say the least.

The girl said that Hamilton, on the morning of Sept. 30, which was the day after he was honored by the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park, got upset about something and proceeded to curse and yell before throwing a full water bottle at her chest. He then picked her up, carried her into her bedroom, threw her on the bed, held her down with one hand and repeatedly struck her in the legs with the other. After that, Hamilton pulled her up by her sweatshirt, hit her in the back, and said, “I hope you go in front of the [expletive] Judge and tell him what a terrible dad I am so I don’t have to see you anymore," according to the affidavit.

Hamilton's ex-wife, Katie, had previously sought a protective order for her daughter and seems like that could come to fruition after what's been revealed today.

Unfortunately for the 38-year-old Hamilton, he's once again in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. His substance abuse sadly overshadowed and derailed his MLB career, and perhaps we'll learn more if that had anything to do with the alleged abuse of his daughter.
