Today we welcome a new neighbor. Right next door to the Nokia Theatre, the Grand Prairie Air Hogs begin their inaugural season with their first home game. Tickets range from 6-12 dollars with all sorts of amenities including a pool out in center field. All reports that I have seen make this new locale to be state of the art.
This day in 1973 another individual would embark on a journey through the magic of no-hitting. The pride of of Alvin High and Refugio Texas, current Ranger President Nolan Ryan tossed the first of seven career no-hitters. Number one came at Kaufman Stadium in a 4-0 victory.
In case you have forgotten, this day in 1998 we were saying goodbye to the series 'Seinfeld'. It was a Thursday. I remember all the watching parties that were happening throughout Seattle and the U.S. Elaine, Alex, Jerry, and Kramer had a wonderful run on NBC. A show that epitomized New York living and all the chutzpah that comes with it.
I watched Baseball tonight on ESPN expecting to see a little Ranger love get tossed around. After all it was ex Rangers Buck Showalter and Eric Young in the analysts chair. It took 38 minutes...and finally there was a kudos for some fine defensive plays by Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton.
Still chuckling at the sight of Mama Lebron getting in Paul Pierce's ear defending the honor of her son while King James said to (minus expletives) sit down. It looks like LeBron James is finding his groove and not a moment too soon. The dunk he put over Pierce and Posey was one for the ages if your a fan of posterization immortalization.
