I'm glad the Texas Rangers changed their mind. I didn't understand why they were hesitant. You're 70-74 years old. 7.5 Gaming They fell from first place in the American League West, 6.0 Gaming They're in the back of the wild card spot, so they've got nothing to lose if they just call up the guy and let up on practice a little bit.
And I would also like to do more shows!
