Some History
This Rangers gray road uniform first appeared in 1986. The TEXAS across the front is blue and they have removed the numbers on the front that we saw on the last uniform. Also there are no more patches on the sleeves.The Rangers finish the season with an 83-79 record, after signing a 41-year-old free agent pitcher by the name of Nolan Ryan in the off-season. When they signed him, the only question was, how much could the Ryan Express have left? This season he would collect his major league leading 5000th career strikeout. The following year he would record his 6th no-hitter of his career and his 300th win. Then in 1991, at the tender age of 44 he recorded his 7th no-hitter, another major league record. I'd say it was a pretty good gamble for the Rangers. Also this season, future President George W. Bush and investor Rusty Rose, purchase controlling interest of the Rangers.
