Rangers Walk of Fame discontinued

by texaslawyer on Oct 7, 2008 3:14 PM CDT Comment 41 comments

Anybody out there p owed at Hicks about this/ I bought a brick in 93 for $200.00 in memory of my dad, and the Rangers gave everybody the impression the brick would permently placed at the Ballpark in Arlington. The Rangers advised brick buyers that they were moving the walk of fame and now they are telling buyers that they can pick up their brick. This is just another money hungry tactic of Hicks. Anybody interested in suing him/Rangers. I have given him a chance to repond and he has not responded (too busy in leveraged buyouts and watching his fortune crumble) Allen C.

my family regretted not doing that

thought about it at the time but passed.
guess that takes care of that…

the preceding post was a great success.

Rec'd

I now have another justifiable reason to buy a Tom Hicks voodoo doll.

He should try this in Liverpool and see what happens… There would certainly be more than a grumbling about it…

I imagine they have no space

for all the recent teams, right? Seems like I recall they stopped adding new years like half a dozen years ago or so.

Does this have something to do with "Glory Park"

or whatever the hell it was called? Are they reviving it or something?

glory park

i’m sorry but every time i see that or hear it i think “glory hole” especially after last weeks it’s always sunny in philadelphia

Glory Park is, of now, dead.

Hicks can’t find the anchor tenants to commit, ergo, he can’t get loans to fund the construction. Even with the closeness of the Cowboys, nobody wants to lease space there. I don’t blame them; it’s stupid. After or before a game, I don’t want to drive to Arlington to shop at the Gap or have a beer…I can do all of that in Dallas near my home.

Yep

It already takes too much time to get to, or get out of, the parking lot before and after game. Why in the hell would I want to stick around?

My favorite line from the season:

Frank: That wasn’t human meat, that was a raccoon.
Charlie/Dee: But what about the hunger? We can’t get rid of the hunger?
Frank: You probably have a tapeworm! That thing was covered in parasites!

I'm really confused

I haven’t heard anything about this and I also bought a brick in memory.

What does this mean and is this true?

by seasmurf on Oct 7, 2008 8:00 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

It's true

I heard this on The Ticket the other day with Norm. You will be asked to go pick you your brick because Hicks is to cheap to send it to you or move the walk to another place.

I swear.. I'm getting to the point

where I’m really sick of the Rangers marketing and the Rangers public relations

Jim Sunberg who is the Executive Vice President of Communications and Public Relations is not doing his job.

Dale Petroskey who is Executive Vice President and Marketing & Community Development is not doing is job either.

I’m going to personaly file a complaint with Chairman of the Board & Owner Tom Hicks and President Nolan Ryan.

I’m also going to send an email to Judy Southworth, Executive Assistant to Nolan Ryan

what’s that suppose to mean?

Who’s the poster we all know? Just wondering, cause I don’t know many posters here. You shouldn’t just say that it sounds like a poster we all know cause there are new community members here like myself that don’t know the someone who sounds like a poster we all know.

Solution

Everybody who gets a brick back from the Rangers should take that brick to Highland Park and throw it through a window in Tom Hicks’ house.

Cars

Hicks probably has about 20 cars. As soon as even the smallest thing goes wrong with one of them he goes out and gets its opposite. “My Hummer is having windshield wiper problems, go get me a Prius!….My Prius keeps shutting off at red lights, go get me a Tahoe!”

I wonder if they are pulling them up,

because the walks are cracking and are going to be re-done. I haven’t been to the Ballpark the last 2 years, but it seems I saw cracking the last time I was there.
