Picture entitled, SLUGGERS LIKE GRAPE.
In Texas there are at least two baseball teams named Rangers.

One is a major league baseball team named the Texas Rangers. The other is part of the Carrollton, Tx Little League.

To be a successful major league team you have to posses the skills of catching, throwing, and hitting. The Texas Rangers have all but three of those skills.

It shows. In the last two years, the Texas Rangers have been above .500 for a total of four days.

The Texas Rangers also lack Joe Manna. Joe is a Carrollton, Tx Little League (Coach Pitch division) Ranger.

On Saturday afternoon Joe went 3 for 4 with a home run, double and single.

When asked about his afternoon, Joe replied, “I really liked the popsicles. Especially the grape ones!”

Maybe the Texas Rangers should make grape popsicles part of their modern day Major League zeitgeist. Either that or wait a few years until Joe Manna is old enough to bring his bat (and popsicles) to the big leagues.
