Pictures from Rangers final home game

Have a bunch of pictures I took at the colossal meltdown of a final home game.

Rangers Final Home Game 2009

It was a great day out for baseball, unexpectedly warm and sunny after weeks of wet weather.

Players were greeting fans at the gates. I went through the first base entrance where they had CJ Wilson, Josh Hamilton, Doug Mathis, Pedro Strop, Mike Maddux and Jackie Moore.

The players were just supposed to greet people and hand out 2010 schedules, a bit of a crowd started to congest the entrance when players started signing autographs as people entered. I guess the crowd around Hamilton got too big and security put a stop to it.

Was a great game until the end when the massive fail happened. Horrible way to end the season.

Below are just a few from the album:

Some pictures I took at Mondays Rough Riders game with Martin Perez starting and Andruw Jones on a rehab assignment playing 1B.

The entire game I was wondering where Gentry was, then later found out he got the callup.

Photos from the 2009 Texas League All-Star Game in Frisco,Tx.

There are many pictures from the Home Run derby, some from the game and some post game fireworks shots.

Overall it was a good night. Team North won the game 2-1 and Mark Trumbo of NW Arkansas won the home run derby edging out Chris Carter.

Kiker was impressive in his 1 inning of work and Latos has some good stuff. Rough Rider Craig Gentry had a nice over the shoulder catch in center.
