When Mike Hampton was a young pitcer with Houston Astros, the lefty was known for his heart, his determination and competitive spirit. He became a big winner, then accepted a big contract with the Colarado Rockies. In recent years he has suffered several injuries that have threatened his career. When he signed with the Astros over the winter, there was a hope that there was some more gas in his tank.
Last week his heart was discovered to have an irregular beat and he was sent for medical assessment. The good news is that the doctors believe it is a manageable condition and that he will be able to perform on the mound.
Now we will see if Hampton's heart is still his strongest asset!
