Here Is Some Ranger Fun
Here are some box scores from some of the first MLB games I ever saw. Here and here. That is my first major MLB/Ranger memory. I went with my folks to Arlington at the end of June, 1976 to see a doubleheader against the White Sox. We actually only wanted to watch the evening game and just as we settled in to our seats Toby Harrah hit a walk-off Grand Slam to win the first game 8-4. I had remembered the second game as a massive White Sox blowout of the Rangers but apparently it was not quite as bad as my childhood memory. The Rangers lost 14-9, but had a lead as late as the 5th inning. Hall-of-Famer Gaylord Perry benefitted from Harrah's Grand Slam, got the win, a Complete Game 8-hitter. (Bucky Dent was with the White Sox back then. Chet Lemon, Jorge Orta in the White Sox OF. Sundberg catching the Rangers, natch, and Tom Grieve a PH.)
