Are you nervous today? I am!
The Major League Baseball season is a long, exhaustive one.

It was the top of the fourth inning last night at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington as the Texas Rangers were taking on the Minnesota Twins when a loud clap of thunder and bolt of lightning sent players scrambling to the dugout.

Cameron Shores became an internet celeb after video of him losing a foul ball thrown by Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland to an obnoxious couple sitting next to him.

Check out this video of 17-year-old Trent Williams at Monday night’s (April 9) Texas Rangers game against the Seattle Mariners.

This year at The Ballpark in Arlington there’s a new item on the menu for Rangers fans to get their heart burn from.
