Rangers Set For All-Star Game

With 5 players plus the manager on the AL All-Star team, the Texas Rangers expect to be a big part of MLB’s big show.  Josh Hamilton and Adrian Beltre are in the starting lineup for tonight’s game.  Michael Young, C.J. Wilson, and Alexi Ogando will be waiting for their turn in the spotlight.  When that turn comes is on the mind of Rangers manager Ron Washington, making his first appearance as manager of the American League. 

Young is proud to have his manager and coaches at the game “I’m so happy for him,” Young said of Washington. “He has been through a lot the last couple of years, and he has been in the game a long time. He has definitely earned this opportunity, and it’s great to have our coaching staff here as well. It’s exciting to see them at the All-Star Game. For most of them, it’s their first time in the All-Star Game, and they were a big part of our success.”

The MLB All-Star Game is tonight at Chase Field in Phoenix.
