Well another “great” moment in Ranger history was being the team the Indians played during “Ten-Cent Beer Night” in Cleveland.
Whatta' ya' expect? Success like Six Flags, or flop like dolphins at Seven Seas water park? I think I recall many years of flopping...and Seven Seas is all dried up, and blown away.
And here they're building them another new stadium. For the baseball team I mean, not for the leaping, aquatic mammals.
I guess no matter how bad they can be, it's better than having a farm team as home team?
Eh, maybe not. Except they were from Fort Worth.
Then there's the football thing. Not to be confused with how the rest of the world plays 'foot ball'.
All hail the Jerry Jones Death Star Stadium. It's got everything. Dallas, Texas moved to Tarrant County. Right across the street is a Walmart.
But I can't blame Dallas. As sad as much of Fort Worth can be, if I was Dallas, I might move to Fort Worth, too. Or try to get away at least as far as Arlington.
And that my FRiends is sort-of how Arlington Texas came to be, after more originally being not much more than a Texas and Pacific railroad farm-to-market loading station, and the 'booneys' where horse racing (with gambling) and a restaurant gambling house (with hookers) could be found.
Tom Vandergriff ruined all that, bringing in a General Motors assembly plant, encouraging building of a lake for municipal water needs (that 'filled up overnight' before even completely finished), additional railroad spurs, Six Flags, and with some help -- the Washington Senators Rangers. What a guy, huh?
