Description
by T. R. Sullivan (Author)
Since the team was established in 1971, the Texas Rangers have built a rich history and identity that makes them unique among MLB teams. The Texas Rangers and Me takes readers on a journey through the incredible highs and lows and the unforgettable moments that have shaped the franchise through the eyes of beat reporter T.R. Sullivan, who covered the team for thirty-two years, longer than any reporter in franchise history. Sullivan attended thirty-two spring trainings, covered some four thousand regular season games, traveled the country over many post-season Octobers, and spent thousands of hours in the clubhouse and press box.
Sullivan was there for Nolan Ryan's final two no-hitters, his three hundredth win and five thousandth strikeout, and his famous brawl with Robin Ventura. He covered José Canseco, Alex Rodriguez, and Josh Hamilton. He was there for Kenny Rogers's perfect game and his assault on two cameramen. He was at the 1989 Earthquake World Series and was on the road with the Rangers on September 11. Sullivan covered sixteen World Series, including the first two ever for the Rangers. He reported through the steroids era and saw firsthand how it impacted the Rangers.
Sullivan covered the team's ascent to their first World Series, led by manager Bruce Bochy and shortstop Corey Seager, as well as the less-known players and people who have influenced the team's history. Sullivan portrays the heart and soul of a team that embodies the spirit of Texas itself: gritty, determined, and always fighting for glory. With firsthand stories from players, coaches, and fans alike, Sullivan brings the history of the Texas Rangers to life in a way that honors the team's unique legacy and their dedicated following.
