and.... the only man to win a playoff game for the Rangers:

the good old days of rogers, helling and three days of shelling

now THERE was a closer that could make you sweat it out on occasion.... one heck of a pitcher but he liked to put guys on just to keep you in your seat

Will Clark was and always will be my favorite baseball player.

i hope we get a chance to shove one up this guys ass

The guy that best sums up the first 36 years of Rangers history:

Dan Smith




The guy we drafted before Frank Thomas. Dan Smith. Yes, Dan Smith.

Can't forget the man the myth the mullet ......

I've always loved baseball.

It became an obsession with hours and hours of baseball cards and Strat-O-Matic.

Watching HSE after the Cosby show...

Then Nolan. Ohh how my Nolan man crush brought me even closer to the game.

My first MLB game was a rainy affair with the Chicago White Sox at Arlington Stadium...I must've been 8 or so..my cotton candy didn't last long and I couldn't keep score in my book because it wouldn't stop raining. The Rangers lost 13-1 that night and lost the next 12 games I visited Arlington. I almost started not wanting to go for the sheer reason I thought I was jinxing them.

It didn't matter I loved my Rangers. Love baseball....and man this is flipping exciting.

I only wish "The Sports Guy" was here to enjoy this with me. I keed I keed.

A couple of misses:

1. The Toby Harrah, Buddy Bell, Al Oliver era..I was a child back then.

2. The Pete Incaviglia, Oddibie McDowell era


I DO NOT miss Mr. Tom Hicks..

yeah I missed a lot. adding that many pics is a pain

Haha. I used to work with Dan, Frankie. I gave him **** about that ALL THE TIME.

Also, this was when the steroid scandal was really getting steam, and he thought that 3 out of 4 players (pitchers and hitters) were juicing in the late 80's.

One of my earliest memories as a kid is hearing Reuben Sierra and Steve beuchele's name announced before they bat. I was at nolan's 7th no hitter and have a ticket for it. I think I was only 8 months old though.

Jeff Burroughs, Mike Hargrove, Richie Zisk, Scoop Oliver, Mickey Rivers, Doc Medich, Fergie Jenkins, The Emu, Inky.

No ****?!? I would have had a continuously updated Frank Thomas HR and RBI count just to mess with him.

Jeff is a definite member of the Alltime-MLB hair Club

Jeff looks like Borat in that picture.

Will Clark

Didn't see Pete mentioned.



Anybody ever read his blog?

No love for Richie Zisk!

Why did I ever get rid of my Toby Harrah jersey
