Josh Hamilton has acknowledged that he had a "moment of weakness" at two Dallas bars on Monday night because of a "personal reason with a family member."
He apologized during a 12-minute news conference at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, when he spoke without a script and did not take questions.
"You guys all know how hard I play on the field and I give it everything I absolutely have," he said. "When I don't do that off the field, I leave myself open for a weak moment. I had a weak moment on Monday night in Dallas."
Hamilton added: "It was just wrong. That's all it comes down to. I needed to be at a different place. I needed to be responsible. I was not responsible. Those actions of mine have hurt a lot of people I'm very close to."
