Over the past several months, the Rangers have been renovating a retail space at 316 Main Street, just North of Razzoo's, in downtown Fort Worth. I stopped by there today at lunch, and it looks done.

The store will open for business at 10am on April 15th. Inside, there are caps, t-shirts, jerseys, baseballs, and other Rangers stuff.

According to this Sundance Square website, the hours will be:

Monday - Thursday:   10 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Friday & Saturday:     10 a.m. - 10 p.m.
Sunday:                       12 p.m. - 6 p.m.

The official Rangers Press Release can be found here.

"We feel that Fort Worth is a very important market for the Rangers," commented club President Nolan Ryan. "Adding a team store in the heart of Sundance Square will give fans a convenient way to purchase Rangers merchandise and tickets."

The facility will also serve as a full service ticket office, accommodating both individual game purchases and season ticket holder sales and exchanges.

This weekend, the Main Street Arts Festival will be taking place. If you're planning on coming to that, be sure to check it out.

Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

This is going to make my Ranger pants go crazy. I work just a few blocks from where this is going to open. Santa Claus just came early this year. Like Juando, I am hoppy cited.

I have not been the Dallas Retail Office, so I have no idea what to expect. I'd appreciate any comments from those of you that have.

Honoring the Face and Voice of the Franchise

The Rangers will be honoring Tom Grieve, Eric Nadel, and Linda Kaye (former Ranger photographer) during their Hall of Fame weekend in a couple of weeks.

There won't be any Hall of Fame inductees again this season.

Why wouldn't the team induct Grieve and Nadel? Do they have to wait until they retire? I don't understand this.

Josh Hamilton Walk Off Video

Josh Hamilton Walk Off Video

"In the Air. Right Field. Heading Up. Heading Out. Ballgaaaaame!" Then, 50 seconds of cheering. No commentary necessary. Good job, Josh and Tom to let the video and scene speak for itself.

This is why I am a Texas Rangers fan.
