This Austrian media outlet could use more tact when writing headlines about Josh Hamilton

OK, so there's nothing factually wrong about news.at's account of Josh Hamilton's four-homer night on Tuesday. Hamilton's past history of drug abuse is apparently known the world over, as this headline on a website based in Vienna, Austria exhibits.

At the same time, I can't help but think it's a bit wrong to lead a headline with an unfortunate fact from someone's past. After all, we could have started the headline to this post with "From the country where Adolf Hitler was born," but we didn't.

Stay classy blunt, Vienna!
