It's Baseball Time in Texas!

I've had a busy week, so I haven't had time to post about Rangers Opening Day this past Monday. Despite the loss, I still had a great time tailgating and hanging out with friends! And BASEBALL IS BACK!! I'm in my happy place (visualize me doing a happy dance). :)

Tailgating with my friend Tim (aka Big Brother). 

Me and beks!

Me and the lovely Lyn

So glad I got to see my friend Travis (it seems Opening Day is the only time we hang out).

Michael is quite the ladies man. :)

Patty throws the best tailgating parties ever!

My friend Trish stopped by!

With my baseball homegirls!

The new name of the Ballpark- Globe Life Park-I still don't like how it sounds

Chance with his favorite best friend (his exact words)

Former Ranger Michael Young was at the game- he retired earlier this year

This was my 9th consecutive Rangers Opening Day/Home Opener to attend. :) I moved to Dallas in the summer of 2004. 2005 was the only Opening Day I didn't go to (I didn't get a ticket in time). I thought in honor of Throwback Thursday (#TBT to those on social media), I would post some pictures from the past opening day games I've attended.

2006: This is where I learned the hard way that you should ALWAYS take sunblock to a game

2007: It was about 30- something degrees that day. We were freezing!

2008: A warmer Opening Day than the previous year. I will always remember this as the game where my friends and I were in a bad wreck going home. I got to experience my first (and hopefully only) ambulance ride that day.

2009: Another freezing Opening Day! I believe this was the first year the Rangers brought back the red uniforms. 

2010: I'll be honest, none of us dreamed that Opening Day that our team would be playing in the World Series that October!

2011: My first year as a Rangers season ticket holder!

2012: The pain of the 2011 World Series was still fresh, but we were happy that baseball was back!

2013: The year of the "Baseball Town" slogan. :)

Hope you enjoyed a walk down memory lane!! :)

XOXO!!
