Texas Rangers Hall of Fame: Legends On and Off the Field

The Texas Rangers Hall of Fame honors both players and non-players whove significantly impacted the team. Since 2009, living Hall members, media vets, and club brass vote on new inductees. Players need at least four seasons in a Rangers uniform and one year retired. Non-players like Johnny Oates, the manager from 1995 to 2001, and Tom Vandergriff, Arlingtons mayor from 1951 to 1977, have also been honored. Oates guided the Rangers to their first playoffs in 1996 and American League West crowns in 1998 and 1999. Vandergriff hustled to bring big league ball to the area, sealing the deal in 1971 to relocate the Senators for the 1972 season. Mark Holtz, who voiced Rangers games from 1981 to 1997, is another legend who keeps the Rangers spirit alive. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
