New Rangers ballpark damaged in storm.

The freak winter storm that dumped snow and ice on the Metroplex and caused millions of Texans to lose power has damaged Globe Life Field, the Texas Rangers new billion-dollar, publicly-riduculed ballpark.

Homegrown.

As is commonly recognized throughout Rangers nation, the current front office has a dismal record when it comes to drafting and developing major league players. Hopefully, with the addition of Chris Young to work under Jon Daniels, that can change. Hopefully, Young can bring success to what has up until […]
