Mt. Rushmore of Rangers

After all, he’s immortalized in one of the greatest baseball movies of all time. Gotta love Pat Corning.

Where’s Scotty Fletcher?!

When I was like 10 years old I wrote him for an autograph. Didn’t send anything and he sent me TWO autograph cards. Quickest hands I’ve ever seen. I based my fielding after him. He was great and not b/c the autographs. He should be on the mountain.

a Rangers Mt. Rushmore is not complete without David Hulse.

Seriously – this organization is best represented by not having a pitcher on display. Catchers, on the other hand, is something this organization does well.

While Nolan legacy bashing is en vogue these days, I’d disagree that he’s meritless. While his tenure in Texas was short, and he certainly wasn’t in his prime anymore, you can definitely argue that he brought national and local attention to the Rangers at a time when no one really cared. I remember in the late ‘80s, before the Ballpark was planned, where there were actually rumors the Rangers may leave Texas. In that respect, Nolan saved the franchise. Without Nolan, there would likely have been no Ballpark. Without the Ballpark, the Rangers probably wouldn’t be in Arlington anymore.

Nolan: Provides stability and credibility. “It’s now his club.” Old school approach for pitchers is winning out.

A-Rod: He said Alex called him and apologized and offered to buy him a beer some day and tell him about everything he can’t talk about now. Hicks told him to use the spotlight to break the cycle (pun!) of steroids.

Steroids: Hicks lays blame on the union for protecting the players. (I punch my monitor) He creepily refers to Raffy as “an gifted Adonis”.

Economy: Impacting the FA market, especially older players. Rangers wanted one guy: Sheets. Ben likes Maddux, Texas, etc. and says he wants to come here when he’s healthy.

Stars: Guys are playing like warriors right now. Doesn’t want to make a deal that will mess up the core of the team.

Liverpool: Watched the CL match on DirectTV on his private jet. He also admitted that Rafa blows goats and Steven Gerrard diddles little boys in the shower.

We could do the 100 Greatest Highlights of all-time or whatever it was, and not play the original commentary! Instead, we’ll have Chris Berman murder each clip with his obnoxious calls!

Rusty, MY, Mark Mclemore, and David Murphy (little Rusty) there.

Does that mean someone like Mickey Tettleton is underrated too?

with the Rangers long enough, imo

have rangers mt rushmore on one side and cowboys mt rushmore on the other?

(btw who would go on cowboys rushmore – presuming jerry put himself on there, cuz you know he would - jerry, staubach, e smith, landry?)
