The Most Unbelievable Story In Baseball 

Had a feeling you'd make this video. I cannot eloquently explain how pumped we are for him; last night was like a story book. Kid could have been a stud but better late than never!

as an astros fan. i’m proud of him for how far he’s came. he deserves it.

This is seriously one of the greatest MLB redemption arcs of all time. Very cool to watch.

Alcohol is infinitely more worse than Marajuana. Players with a drinking problem are worse than players who get high off weed.

i dont think smoking weed makes him an "addict" lol

This is a good story. However, I have to say that I think this really shows both Singleton’s strength as a human and the insidious side of society. Two things are abundantly clear to me: 1. This dude can play baseball and 2. He probably benefits from having a little weed in his system. Given how the MLB treats THC today, Singleton is exactly the guy that should’ve been able to have both a successful career and access to a fairly mild stress relief drug that is also most certainly not a PED. I’m not saying he doesn’t have an addiction, clearly he struggled to the point of facing serious consequences, but what was the benefit of punishing people like this?

"Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves back up." Great video and I'm here for Singleton's comeback!

get banned longer for weed than for steroids 😂 that’s crazy

I remember him being a top Astros' prospect, and then I heard his name no more. Glad he's back, hopefully he's does well.

Wait im confused, did he go to rehab for weed or something else cause ive literally never heard of that. Maybe it was mandatory from the team. Rehabs have limited space and theres people on harder drugs who really need it, I mean obviously times were different but just seems weird. Either way im glad he's back playing. Always cool when theres a redemption story there! (Ps as a stoner I've never had any of those problems or known anyone who has which is why im confused)

Josh Hamilton won a MVP after being addicted to crack. Nothing has ever been more unbelievable in sports.

As someone who got to watch him come up with the Astros, I’m so happy they brought him back for a second chance. I think him being on a new Astros team and having Yordan will help him a lot

I'm a Astros fan and I'm speechless right now how Jon Singleton battling though the personal devil to get to the big league.

The NBA just stopped suspending players for marijuana, the MLB needs to follow suit!

I REALLY HOPE he stays on top of the game, we need a 1st baseman in Houston that can get some hits! Abreu, God bless him, just isn't hitting.

Baller lets fucking go bro. Projecting the relief he feels with those bat flips is truly amazing to watch

My poor Angels 😢. But good for Jon!

Super happy for him and glad he’s back with the Astros. It’s a great story of overcoming one’s demons and perseverance. He had a postseason moment with helping the Stros comeback in game 5 of the ALCS, hope he has a few more this year.

All of this right here is what they make inspirational stories from. Jon Singleton is living a movie

This is actually heartwarming, comeback player of the year

Dude has a beautiful swing

Singleton is on the AAA Nashvile Sounds mlb the show 23 and I didn't know who that was until this video! Very useful information my man, keep it up!!❤

I called this on the "Locked on Astros" program. I said, the Baseball story of the decade... the stuff of Movies... Singleton WILL be called up because Abreu is biting it big time. He will SHINE.... Hit multiple homers in his first game back.... ( i know , he DH the first game) and will be the World Series MVP. it is the stuff of dreams.... and right now, Minute Maid Park is Jon Singleton's FIELD OF DREAMS... but it is totally up to him... two homers in one game is no way to end the story!

Not the most unbelievable story I've ever heard but it's a very good one. By the way, MLB should un-ban marijuana as it could help players reduce stress and avoid injuries. Tobacco is allowed and it is worse in every way.

Hopefully we can win it all for him. First Castro now Singleton!

"You in here for some marijuana, boo this mannn"😂..-Half Baked

You should make a video about Lorenzen on the Phillies and maybe his no hitter, he’s been crazy, but that aside this was a hood vid, love your content italk

Seeing him hit those on Friday and being at the game yesterday and hearing how loudly the fans cheered for him was incredible. The man deserves it and can't wait for him to keep doing those nice flips.

Singleton is our starting 1st baseman tonight… (according to baseball savant)

insane that MLB/MiLB went this nuts over weed, something mostly legal now - never heard of them suspending players & sending them to rehab for drinking

50 game suspension for marijuana is crazy

Sending a dude to rehab for weed is the stupidest thing i have heard next to weed being illegal in the first place.

The great stories in baseball go on and on..

Wonderful story. My fear is that something will fall through, but I'm hoping my fear is groundless.

Great story! Thanks

Glad to have whim back on my squad 🤟🏾

This is real inspiring bro

Singleton disregarded his last name and desires to hit some homers instead lol

Good for him. Was pretty upset with him when he pissed away his opportunity...but I'm truly happy for him for realizing that he was messing up and that he had the intestinal fortitude to get passed his shortcomings and get back to the show. That's absolutely awesome and he should be very proud.

I remember watching Jon Singleton when i was 10 years old. Glad to see him again

That was a great game yesterday!

Went to High School with him. I'm proud of him

The part of history where you tell people that we ruined a guy’s chance at millions of dollars because he smoked weed is forever going to be looked at mockingly and with disdain.

Umm i dont think you can have night sweats and withdrawal from some weed lol.

Hope he makes it . Good for him to work hard and get back

Way better baseball content than baseball doesn't exist

you work so hard to keep up the good work?

And now many states have legalized recreational weed lmao

Imagine being a card collector and going fromTatis jr after the peds to Wander (who was the #1 rc sought after last year.

I thought of Chris Singelton when I first heard his name lmao

I remember him in mlb2k12 bro. Happy for him!

Marijuana addiction is no joke, this guys is a G … such a great story :D

Marijuana does not make you stare at a wall without sleeping for 3 days straight. What else was he using?

Went to high school with JSing. Hung out once or twice with him. Was always a super cool dude. Wish him nothing but success even if it's with the Astros

I agree. Good bat flip !

Inspiring af

I lost my mind as I watched the game. I came home from baseball practice and recorded the game against the halos. I saw singleton come up to bat and lost it as soon as I saw that ball fly.

I get that there’s rules and repercussions, but you can’t be physically addicted to weed. You aren’t going to go through physical withdrawals. Taking someone’s career away for something that is pretty much universally accepted, seems off. 2016 was a weird time and it wasn’t that long ago.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the mlb stop testing for thc. Not trying to take away from a good story but I mean he might still be indulging 🤣. Nice to see him back in the bigs though

Legend🔥

Wait a second…this dude went to rehab for weed? 😂 I can’t

Getting suspended for pot is the dumbest thing ever. Prob got suspended by a man drinking scotch in his office

Withdrawals from weed? Bro had to have been drinking too

He was not going through withdrawal at that rehab marijuana on its own it’s will not cause withdrawal symptoms, he was more likely having anxiety issues and he had no marijuana to help him deal with it

Great video... Stros all the way

guys he's now an everyday first basemen and a respectable one at that

You don't go into withdrawal from grass. If he's was in withdrawal it was on the kick from something else but grass ain't keeping you in the sweats.

You don’t go through withdrawals when you smoke weed bruh 😂

Ah yes man suffered “withdrawals” from thc lol

This wouldn't have even happened to today since there's an exception for marijuana in testing for members of MLBPA. Minor leaguers are now all part of the union. A lot of places define "marijuana addiction" as using any at at all, no matter how infrequent the use and don't recognize any medical benefits. Which is ridiculous! This is only a story because of the ridiculousness of our drug laws and marijuana prohibition. That's the real story that should come out of this. Marijuana is now legal both recreational and medical in 75% of the leagues home games. The MLB, NBA, NFL players unions all have exceptions for at least medical marijuana or just outright.

Drug addict? It was weed man.. Come on.. 😂😂😂

I still don’t understand how weed is a banned substance, there is quite literally no physical or mental benefits for playing baseball

Never give up!

Redemption= The Most Powerful drug of All!!

3 for 29 with the Brewers with 11ks, guess the Astros are his team!

Is using terms like withdrawal and addiction for marijuana a bit excessive? Honestly asking. If not then I learned something today.

I’ve seen Garrett Cole take bong rips at a Halloween party in SoCal when he’s with the Pirates….

Wando Franco: Hold my beer.

You dont get withdraws because you stop smoking weed. There was more going on.

Calling weed smoking an addiction is an insult to people that are ACTUALLY addicted to REAL drugs.

Marijuana “addict” here who makes 6 figure selling real estate, and has for 6 years running….and smoke 4-5x a week, have since I was like 19. I’m 32… crazy it’s effected bros career the way it has and hasn’t effected mine whatsoever, and I could argue it’s benefited it. Wild ass draconian weed laws from the MLB. ( strictly talking about weed any other subabses bro may or may not have struggled with a can’t express opinions on).

Rehab for weed is unheard of lmao

make a video on the diamondbacks

Marijuana as an addict 🤦🏻‍♂️ like in the half baked movies when the other rehab people booed him and threw staff at him for saying he addicted to weed 😂

Sending a guy to inpatient rehab for smoking a bit of weed is a brand new level of idiocy I haven’t quite yet encountered

3:30 id hope you’d be able to get weed in less then an a hour

LMAOO you can't withdraw from weed

NOT THE MARIJUANA

For weeeed??? Jeeze. Legalize it!

insane story

I don't trust f*cking StatCast, man. I went to the Astros website and watched both of his home runs, both of which were absolute swamp donkey moonshots that landed no less than halfway up in the second deck in right field. And while they may have been right down the line and each had rather high trajectories, they both looked a hell of a lot farther than the 390 ft and 389ft they projected them as going. I mean, they were both at least 50 feet beyond the wall where they landed, and where they landed was halfway up the second deck which is probably a good 60-70 ft above the playing surface. And with the outfield wall being more than 326 ft where he hit the homers (as it's 326 ft to the right field foul pole, but both homers were several feet left of the foul pole so it was probably no less than 330 ft to the wall where he hit it). but either way, if you simply add 50 ft onto the 330ft, that's 380 ft to where it landed a good 60-70 ft high in the upper deck. And I'd have to imagine that both home runs would have continued to travel more than just another 10 measly feet from the places each ball landed at least 60+ feet above ground level to where they'd have eventually landed if there hadn't been the upper deck and/or other obstructions. Despite having rather high trajectories, I'd say they both would have traveled at least another 30 ft horizontally as they continued to plummet from the at least 60+ ft remaining vertical drop. So I'd say no less than 410. I mean, I can't imagine either of those balls staying in the park regardless of where he hit them--be it center or deep left-center where it's over 400 ft. No big deal, I guess, but I just notice the Statcasts seem to under "estimate" the distance of these mammoth home runs on a regular basis. And I don't think I'm wrong, as I'm pretty sure they're literally projecting where the home run would land based on the mathematics of how fast the pitch was, how fast the swing was, how fast the ball came off the bat, and the angle at which the ball came off the bat. That doesn't account for so many other variables that effect the distance a ball flies off the bat, including the temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, elevation of the stadium, and several other things that we can't even account for, like some places the ball just flies better (or worse) than others regardless of the other variables like wind speed and temperature and elevation. I think some of it could have to do with magnetic and gravitational properties at given ballparks and other factors of space-time that we don't understand. For if you've ever actually played baseball or golf for yourself, you'll know that certain fields were always great for hitting while others sucked despite being in the same city, or on a golf course, there are always holes that play way farther or way shorter than their measured distance and not just because they're uphill or downhill or whatever.

I know the story all too well. I’m a recovering addict and you’ll trade any substance and abuse all of them not intending to

In singleton we trust 👊

Suspended for marijuana is such a joke

In patient rehab for smoking weed? That's a hole in this story you can drive a truck through.

Not sure you can label him a drug addict , smoked weed and drank , not sure why they even test for weed now

Those are some bad marijuana detox stories! He must have been injecting it IV.

If he stays in the league he might be able to win the home run derby next year

lol Marijuana.

Please talk about quinn priester he is my boy ❤️
