Welcome to SportsDay Rangers!

Long-time Dallas Morning News Texas Rangers beat writer Evan Grant has teamed up with Rangers senior advisor and team historian John Blake for a new podcast. Our two hosts bring nearly 70 years of combined experience covering the Rangers to the pod.

Each week, Evan and John will be joined by at least one guest from the Rangers’ past or present. They’ll dive into some historical items, talk about the state of the current team and, most importantly, try to have a little fun.

John and Evan break down the season’s most critical week (though it feels like the Rangers have had lots of critical weeks) with a series at Kansas City and one vs. Cleveland, the two teams directly ahead of them in the playoff race.

And finally, the great countdown to the Rangers most iconic regular season moment has come to a close. What won the fan vote – Kenny Rogers’ perfect game or the first playoff berth in team history? And does John, the ultimate authority on Rangers’ history, agree? Lots of mysteries to unravel this week.
