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.
After stumbling all year over how to explain the Rangers’ stumbles, John and Evan stumble over how to explain an illogical hot streak and tales of travel woes.
Rangers
The former Rangers ace Cole Hamels joins the guys to recall his unexpected trade to the Rangers, the run to 2015 AL West title and if there is anything these Rangers can take from that. And he reminisces about the day of two Coles, when the Rangers asked him to chaperone first-round draft pick Cole Ragans around spring training.
Finally, when John cranks open the Archives in Arlington, out tumbles the tale of the Ranger who played all nine positions – in five innings.
