I can remember sitting on the hot metal bleacher seats at Arlington Stadium in the 1980s, watching the Texas Rangers with my grandfather.

Catching a game with him was special. He would grab us some hot dogs and Coke's and we'd unshell some peanuts too! The one thing we missed out was catching a fly or foul ball. They never did come our way.

Since going to my first game with him, the Texas Rangers have since played in two new stadiums. I wished he'd live long enough to see this current stadium with all of its comforts out from underneath the scorching North Texas sun and high humidity on those metal bleachers.
