This Day in Ranger History

conveniently on the same day…

 that didnt even draw 9,000 fans i might add, almost cost my sister in law a lifetime of ridicule. Leah, who is 22, been a boy she was in line to be named Oddibe. to this day, my father in law calls her bodi.

Finishing the cycle with a homer like McDowell, or finishing it with a triple like Kinsler.

…like:

1. Fewer than 9K announced attendance. Of course that wasn’t unusual in that Rangers era. And of course it was a colossal matchup of 7th place teams.

2. I didn’t remember Grover hanging on as a player that long.

3. Nice .505 OPS for Tribe DH Andre Thornton.

4. Check out the fine work of Dave Rozema. Gets Hough out of a bases loaded/no outs jam in the 6th and goes the route for the rare 4-inning save. I remember the 84-85 offseason when we were told that Rozema was a huge FA signing.

5. This was that crazy year for Wayne Tolleson when he threw up a 101 OPS+ (career OPS+ of 66).

I was at this game. Few rows behind 1B dugout in old Arlington when he ripped it out to right field for the cycle.

I don’t know how to pronounce it.

“OH-dih-bee?”
