Me, I gave up on the Strangers years ago. But not TFG. He’s a devoted fan.

UPDATE: Hall of Fame pitcher and Texas Rangers president Nolan Ryan won the bidding. I’m happy. So is TFG (Warning: second link Not Safe For Work).

Let’s go, Rangers!

Going to be interesting, our trip to Arlington today to see the Rangers play the Bluejays tonight. Mr. Boy, who has become a daily reader of the sports pages, is a fount library of statistics and youthful opinions about his Rangers. Add to that his recent reading of The Science of Hitting, by Ted Williams, and our bedtimestory reading lately of The Thinking Fan’s Guide To Baseball.

Last night, watching the Rangers beat the Jays 9-8, the camera focused on retired Rangers pitcher Nolan Ryan. "There’s Nolan Ryan," Mom said. "Oh, Mom," Mr. B. said. "Whitey Ford was better. Ryan didn’t have any control."
