THE END. Yesterday, I recounted Top Ten Moment # 6 of the Rangers 2017 season. Here is what I wrote about it at the time. Reposted from the morning after Joey Gallo hit his 40th and then 41st home run of the year, October 1, 2017. It was also the […]
Top Ten Moment #6: Joey Gallo hits home run number 40. There was no greater redemption story in 2017 than the story Joey Gallo wrote. After his dismal 2016, he was pretty much written off by everyone, his manager and, whether he wanted to admit it, probably himself. The […]
Evan Grant has an article in today’s Dallas Morning News about an amazing new baseball complex the Rangers are opening in west Dallas to bring baseball, and, as Grant says, “hopefully a little life guidance” to an underserved community.

NINTH INNING OR BUST. Yesterday, I recounted Top Ten Moment # 7 of the Rangers 2017 season. Here is what I wrote about it at the time. Reposted from the morning after the second of two consecutive walk-off-wins, May 13, 2017. There isn’t a basketball game that has ever been […]
Top Ten Moment #7: Back-to-back walk offs. The Rangers came into the second game of a home series against the San Diego Padres five games under .500. They had won two in a row and were looking for some sort of momentum in the early season. Martin Perez got the […]
