Fun card to create since I came across an photo of the pre-game ceremonies of that day, with none other than the great Ted Williams front and center, followed by Lenny Randle, Dave Nelson and “Hondo” Frank Howard , all wearing their cowboy hats!
They would go on to win that day, beating the California Angels 7-6 with Dick Bosman getting the win along with a save by Paul Lindblad, boosting the Rangers’ record to 2-3 at that time after starting the season with four road games.
The Rangers would go on to post a record of 54-100 for the season, with their top hitter being Toby Harrah and Larry Biittner hitting at a .259 clip, and their top pitcher being Rich Hand, who led the team with 10 wins while spot starter Mike Paul led the team with an excellent 2.17 ERA over 49 appearances and 161.2 innings pitched.
