We can not bring Rusty Greer back.
He was one of the most popular players ever to play here. Greer is now doing TV commercials and PR work for the team.
In 1994, a very young Rusty Greer and the Rangers opened the new stadium with a "red look". A few months later, he made a diving catch to save Kenny Rogers' perfect game.
Greer was like a Rangers' version of Pete Rose. He slid hard as you can see in the photo. He crashed into walls. He made one diving catch a game. He had a winning hit just about every night. Best of all, he retired with a .305 lifetime batting average!
The 1994 look was white at home, grey on the road and red caps.
They won 3 divisional titles with the red caps.
We can not bring back Rusty Greer but we can bring back the Rangers' 1994-2000 uniforms!
In 2001, they went back to blue when ARod was signed. They've had one winning season since dropping red!
Yesterday, the Rangers introduced the new look for 2009.
They were introduced by Josh Hamilton (red top), Chris Davis, Ian Kinsler, Taylor Tingarden, manager Ron Washington and David Murphy.
The biggest change is TEXAS rather than Rangers at home.
Also, they will wear a red top on Saturday games.
Drop the blue and go red again.
Drop the red jersey and go white with red!
Of course, I have always been an old school guy with baseball uniforms.
The Yankees have worn the same uniform since Babe Ruth was hitting home runs.
The Dodgers, Red Sox, Tigers and Cardinals have not changed much over decades either.
They've stuck to the traditional white at home and grey on the road!
Here is my suggestion: White with red cap at home. Grey with red cap on the road.
Last, but not least, let's win games! Let's get back Josh Hamilton back to the homerun derby:
