Hello, my name is Bryan Chapman and I’ll be covering the Texas Rangers for the Baseball Historians network of websites. The Rangers celebrate their 35th anniversary of baseball in Arlington, TX and while the team hasn’t made a World Series, the team still has a fairly rich history. My favorite player is Hank Blalock although I like this new arm the Rangers traded for, Brandon McCarthy. I think in a lot of ways, McCarthy is the wild card in what could be the Rangers first playoff appearance in eight years.
The first order of business will be the 2007 season. Spring training is coming up and I’ll be sure to cover how the team is doing. When I have time though, I’m going to write up season retrospectives to show you how far the franchise has come. I’ll start with the eleven seasons that the Rangers were the Washington Senators then move up through the 1970s when baseball came to Arlington.
So I hope you’ll make this a regular stop if you’re a Rangers fan. And I hope you have as much fun reading about the Rangers as I do writing about them.
