2005: Rusty Greer and we still remember those highlight catches!

Rusty Greer retired back in 2005.   Rusty was my favorite Ranger player. He was a disciple of the "play hard" school of baseball.

From '94 to '02, when injuries caught up with him, Rusty was a steady performer: a .305 lifetime batting average over 1,027 games. He was an integral part of the 3 division winners of the late 90's.

It was Rusty who made the big catch in Kenny Rogers' perfect game in '94.

It was Rusty who drove in some of the biggest hits in recent team history.

The Rangers retained Rusty in their organization.  He is working with player development, as well as public relations.

Goodbye Rusty. Thank you for 10 wonderful years.
