SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The storms moved east from the Phoenix area and the White Tank Mountains on Monday, and blue skies soared over the Texas' training complex to greet the Rangers.
But there was still some thunder in the area, and it came from Field No. 1 behind the main stadium. Josh Hamilton, who missed last season because of left knee surgery, was taking batting practice.
The assault on cars traveling Bullard Avenue beyond right field began in the second round. Hamilton, hitting between Shin-Soo Choo and Mike Napoli, crushed one high and deep in the direction toward Bullard.
