As a huge Star Wars fan (what American boy born in the 70s or early 80s isn't?), this photo struck me as, well, pretty awesome.

Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton is no longer an under-the-radar type guy. In fact, despite his horrible showing last night -- going 1-for-4 from the plate with a home run in his fourth straight game -- Hamilton is still leading the American League in two of the three Triple Crown categories (batting average, home runs, RBIs).

His average dropped to .329 after last night, three points behind New York's Hideki Matsui. He still leads the league in home runs (17) and all of Major League Baseball in RBIs (67), 17 ahead of his closest AL competitor and 12 more than former Ranger and current Padre Adrian Gonzalez.
