we've never won a playoff series rangers g/u thread
Re: we've never won a playoff series rangers g/u thread
Hey guys, nice stuff!! Just wanted to chime in and say how proud I am for all Rangers fans and my former co-workers. My first real job was as a sales account executive with the team from '05 to '07 and I met dozens of great people who's lives have changed for the better with the success of this year's team. For what it's worth, my first g/u bats were from Hank Blalock and Sammy Sosa down in Texas. I also used to own an Ian Kinsler g/u glove and about 6 bats and a S/T jersey. But my greatest Kinsler story is running into him after a game at a local bar and having a few beers each and just talking about baseball and life. He was open to me, a fan he didn't know, just coming up and wanting to hang out with a MLB player. For that I will always follow him in his career. Go Rangers!!

My only Rangers jerseys are two Kenny Lofton and two from Omar Vizquel all purchased directly from the team. I would love to add a Cliff Lee to the mix!

An interesting Rangers piece I saw many moons ago:
It was a Rangers knit, tagged 1973, showing the NOB and number JENKINS 19. Yes, it was a Fergie Jenkins spring training gamer. Jenkins came to Texas in the 1973-74 offseason in a trade with the Cubs. For Florida activities in '74, he was given a name and number changed jersey issued in '73 to a departed Ranger, Sonny Siebert. Sizing was comparable (46 or 48, I forget which), and the 1974 Street & Smith's yearbook with spring training rosters shows Jenkins as #19 (he took his customary #31 when the season started). This jersey would be of concern to many when first seen, but it is, indeed, authentic and explainable.
