If Only For A Night: How 'Bout Those Texas Rangers!


I was in a bar in McKinney, Texas, the night the Rangers beat Baltimore 26-7 in Arlington. We were on our way to the Fry Street Fair in Denton, if I'm not completely mistaken, and I saw a crazy seventh inning to beat all.


It was nothing compared to tonight, and I didn't turn on the game until it was 20-3. I witnessed, you witnessed -- anybody who watched witnessed -- what is likely the single greatest offensive show of our lifetime by any one team in Major League Baseball.


On Aug. 22, 2007, Texas beat Baltimore at Camden Yards 30-3.


I don't mean to be terribly sentimental or nostalgic or whatever, but it's one of the beautiful things about baseball. It's a sport whose storylines are written day by day but whose novels are written yearly, and on Wednesday, there was nobody better than my Rangers.


What's super-duper triple amazing is that the Orioles were leading 3-0 after 3. Oh, and Texas won the nightcap of this doubleheader 9-7. Wow.


Enjoy the highlights below ...
