I have a dream that one day the Rangers walk hand in hand to the championship podium holding the World Series trophy.
Top Ten Moment #4: Ivan Rodriguez is inducted into the Hall of Fame. On July 31, Pudge Rodriguez was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, his greatness made official for all time. In a season where there weren’t many great moments on the field, Rodriguez’s enshrinement […]
