Faith brings Texas Rangers' Hamilton back from brink
Chadwick once paid a $2,000 debt to stop a drug dealer from harassing Hamilton. He remembers Hamilton's 24th birthday, May 21, 2005, as the "night from hell." Hamilton dug ditches and swept model homes for Chadwick's company during his baseball exile. He showed up at an employees party and quickly grabbed a drink. Before the night was over, he ripped the rearview mirror off his truck, punched out the windshield and was twice stopped by police. Following the second incident, he was taken to jail. When he was released, Hamilton says he ran eight miles to an acquaintance's home. Hamilton cites a day in the summer of 2005 as his lowest moment. He awoke from a crack binge in a stiflingly hot trailer surrounded by a half-dozen unfamiliar stoned faces. His reaction: He loaned his truck to a dealer to get more crack.
Art and history merge in Breck
Herbertz poured a true foundation before piecing it back together, using a 65-ton crane to move the roof and sides.
Everybody was kind of nervous, Herbertz said. But it came back together within an inch.
Since its a historic structure, all the remaining work is being done on the interior leaving the historic exterior visible.
Inside, Herbertz and others working on the project moved out horse troughs and stables. They also found some other artifacts, like unique horseshoes with cleats (presumably for the horses to get traction on the High Countrys snow and ice) along with turn-of-the-century nails and an embossed jar.
The work is being financed partly by a grant written by Breckenridge town historian Rebecca Waugh through the state historical society.
