I need to leave soon if I am going to make it in time to Arlington to join the quarter million of us ardent baseball fans to watch the Texas Rangers World Series victory parade.
The image you see above is from today's Fort Worth Star-Telegram's online front page.
Both Arlington and Fort Worth are in Tarrant County.
Dallas is in Dallas County.
One of America's creepiest politicians, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, had many D/FW baseball fans upset when he referred to the Texas Rangers as the Dallas Rangers.
The Dallas Cowboys football team also does not play in Dallas. The Dallas Cowboy stadium shares parking space with the Texas Ranger's ballpark.
If a quarter million baseball fans actually show up to watch the victory parade it will make one BIG traffic mess.
Arlington has no mass transit. No city buses. No light rail. Nothing.
Well, I have seen rickshaw type transport devices wheeling people from remote parking lots to the Dallas Cowboy stadium...
Texas Rangers Baseball Club Fun Facts:
ReplyDeleteMore people from the Dallas area actually attend the Rangers' games than people from the Fort Worth side of the Metroplex.
Noted Fort Worth Boot Licker Dud Kennedy says that Rangers manager Bruce Bochy is the tempered son of a World War II combat veteran of the D-Day landing. Bruce Bochy has said in newspaper articles that his uncle participated in the D-Day landings, but his father was in the Pacific theater of operations on D-Day. Dud must know something that the rest of us do not. Poor Elmer Dud.
