The Rangers(10-11) take on the Chicago White Sox(8-13), this hot afternoon at the Ballpark in Arlington.. Actually it's about 78 degrees. But when you're in the sun it feels hotter. Fans are out enjoying the game on this sunny spring day. Families, babies, toddlers, grandmother and granddad. In fact, as I was parking , I glanced over at an elderly couple driving their Gran Torino and lowering a Rove Around wheelchair from their vehicle. I've often wondered, how on earth are all theses fans off from work. Most of the fans, I've seen so far, appears to retired.
I'm high above the home plate a great view. In the my presence is legendary Nolan Ryan, he's chatting with other media personnel and enjoying the view from the press box. A small group of 10-12 people stop by on a tour and say hello to the hall of famer. He's asking questions and making jokes. One student remembers him throwing a no hitter on her birthday. "You threw a no-hitter on my birthday" the fans says. Mr Ryan asked: "When is your birthday?" She answered June 11th."He is gracious to them and is happy to accomodate ALL of their wishes..
The Ranges will play 9 innings this afoernoon against the White Sox. Seeking three straight wins, the Rangers have already secured a winning record at home. With a team win today, the Rangers could match longest win streak of the season. #12 Justin Smoak,hits a home run for the home team. At the end of the fourth Texas 3, Chi White Sox 1.
Listen up ladies....baseball is not just for the men.. A good way to keep your significant other interested try watching and learning about sports in the Southwest.
