I remember covering this game…
And in the clubhouse, Nolan was asked if he threw at him intentionally…
And he just cracked that Nolan smile… And said:
“Naw, the ball just slipped off my index finger…”
No follow up questions were necessary as the whole media just cracked up

The Rangers are happy to announce that Elvis Andrus is the recipient of the 2027 Mark Holtz Alumni Award, which goes annually to a former Ranger for his on-field career performance and contributions following his retirement. Congratulations to the Rangers Hall of Famer!

Michael Young won the 2005 batting title with 221 hits.
As a shortstop. Three years later he won a Gold Glove there.
Then he moved to third so Elvis Andrus could play. He also had 200 hits in five straight seasons and finished with 2,375. He moved positions three times for the good of the team, from second to short to third to DH, and kept producing at every one of them.
Rangers fans know. Nobody else seems to.

You can keep the giant video boards and high-volume audio assaults. Just give me a green field, a cold beer, and the sound of a catcher’s mitt popping.

Always excited to get assigned a UCLA broadcast for Big Ten Network because I get to see one of my guys…the great @joshlewinstuff. He’s gonna have a lot of fun on Bruins radio broadcasts this year but he’ll always be loved in the DFDub! Here’s hoping our meet up sends good vibes out on this final MLB weekend to the Rangers!

Is anyone else missing Saturday nights with Brooks running the bases?
We sure are and so is Brooks 🥹

Adrian Beltré says the Rangers offered him the opportunity to return in 2019 as the DH, but it was time to hang it up.
"A lot of my teammates got mad at me because they wanted me to chase 500 homers, but I didn't play for numbers."

Seven All-Star appearances, a Gold Glove, a batting title, MVP votes in five different seasons, 2,375 hits, 185 home runs, 1,030 RBI, and a .300 career batting average.
Michael Young was that guy.

20 years ago, Miguel Young allowed me to play SS for the Rangers for a few innings. #ESPN

Grady Emerson grew up impersonating @Rangers players' batting stances in his backyard!
"[Ian Kinsler], Michael Young, Adrián Beltré, Elvis Andrus, I was trying to do all of them." 😂
Grady Emerson is only the second high schooler in 48 years to be nominated for the @USAGoldenSpikes Award, joining Bobby Witt Jr.!
The No. 2 prospect in the 2026 MLB Draft joins #MLBTonight to discuss the honor & learning from former Rangers outfielder Rusty Greer.

A very happy 75th birthday to the longtime radio voice of the Rangers Eric Nadel. Eric has been celebrating his birthday as a Rangers broadcaster since 1979 with his 48 seasons the 2nd longest current run with MLB one team behind the Royals Denny Matthews (58th year with KC).
