Rangers featured on This Week in Baseball (9/26)

txranger7 — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 23:56:55 -0000

According to this article, several Rangers will be featured on Saturday's episode of This Week in Baseball.

The longest-running sports anthology show in television history, which airs at 2:30 p.m. CT on FOX, will take viewers on a tour of the pregame activities at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington with young star Ian Kinsler, analyze how Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan has turned back the clock on his pitching staff and delve into Ivan Rodriguez's celebrated return to Texas.

Before there was Baseball Tonight, we only got our baseball fix once a week.

The greatness of Mel Allen narrated the show. His catchphrase was "How About That!". He was one of the many commentators in the baseball scene at the end of The Naked Gun in 1989. You can watch that hilarious clip here.

Disappointed by tonight's rain out, I ran across an old Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. I miss the days of my childhood with ghost runners, and getting to bat again.

Rangers to induct 2 players into Hall of Fame on August 1

Congratulations to former Ranger greats Ruben Sierra and Toby Harrah.

The team should also induct Tom Grieve and Chuck Morgan at some point as well.

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.
