One creative video actually came from Deep East Texas. This was a Facebook video of the Hemphill High School Hornets baseball team from Mrs. Lisa Ratcliff:
The Rangers and Astros don't crack the Top Ten on the Forbes' list of Major League Baseball's most valuable franchises, but that doesn't seem to bother Texans one bit. In fact, we kinda rebel against the richest teams, don't we?
We have to look really hard to find and overnight success story in baseball. It's a journey and not a sprint, and teams know the marathon 162-game season will be full of ups and downs.
Apparently we haven't lived until we've tried the Houston Astros' Chicken Waffle Cone or the Texas Rangers' famous 2-foot-long hot dog. And now there's a festival that's showcasing the wild concessions from all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums. Pack the treadmill!
The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is coming up on Tuesday, July 12th. The biggest stars and best performers in baseball will gather in San Diego...and Brandon Belt could be representing East Texas.
If your co-workers don't come back from lunch today, you know what they're doing. Watching baseball.
Today is the day to leave the office at 11:30 and not come back til Monday, cuz this is a wings, beer, and baseball day if there ever was one. Texas has two teams in the playoffs, and they're playing back to back today.
Maybe you thought that $26 hot dog at the Ballpark in Arlington wouldn't last long after it was introduced in 2012. Surely there wouldn't be much demand for a hot dog as long as your son's arm. It's gluttonous. Oh, but it's popular! And the enormous dog made the ESPN spotlight this week.
