Texas Rangers

Bag om Texas Rangers

The 1972 Texas Rangers were a culmination of decades of trying to get a major-league team in Dallas-Fort Worth. The area has a long history with baseball, going back to the 1800s, and minor-league teams played in both cities right up until the Rangers arrived with Ted Williams at the helm.High expectations were quickly dashed. Just how bad were those early Rangers teams? When reporter Mike Shropshire wrote a book about covering the Rangers from 1973 to '75, he titled it Seasons In Hell. Twenty years later, the Rangers still hadn't made the playoffs. Counting the decade when the franchise was known as the Washington Senators, the team did not go to the playoffs for the first 35 years of its existence. In this book you will learn...Nolan Ryan played in the MLB for how many presidential administrations? (More than you'd think.) Who was the first and only Rangers pitcher to ever throw a perfect game? When the Texas Rangers play the Houston Astros, what is the series called? Back in 1998, former Ranger Alex Rodriguez was asked by a reporter who his dream date would be with. All these stories and so much more can be found in a unique format that provides with each telling a story about Ranger history: facts, anomalies, records, coincidences, and enthralling lore and trivia from the legends, stars, and even the forgotten players. This book isn't just for the diehard Rangers fan. It's for every fan who enjoys watching the Rangers and wants to learn more about their favorite team.
