Answer 1

it bcuz hamililton didnt really do anything last year but this yer he is doing good

Answer 2

we did

just not as much

Answer 3

It was on sportscenter.

Answer 4

Well, he did do good when he was on the Reds, believe me, I'm a Reds fan.

However, this year he has the most RBI's in Major League Baseball right now, and will win the RBI title most likely.

The sports media will focus on people breaking records, and setting milestones more then anything.

Answer 5

I read a few things at the start of 2007, but he had some injury issues last year and missed some big stretches of the season so I think that took the media interest level down a notch. His numbers this year and Home Run Derby performance have definitely raised his profile.

Answer 6

Where were you? I heard it plenty. But since he's one of the top-caliber players this year, it MUST be made a huge story

Answer 7

He had a big write up in the Washington Post

Answer 8

We did. But not about his performance, but instead his amazing comeback after taking drugs

Answer 9

There was a segment on sportscenter
