RANGERS DONATE ARTIFACTS FROM GLOBE LIFE FIELD OPENER TO NATIONAL BASEBALL HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM
The Rangers donated several artifacts from the first regular season game in Globe Life Field history to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown , New York .
The Hall of Fame received the following artifacts from the Rangers game with the Colorado Rockies :
» Baseball used to throw the first pitch in the game from Lance Lynn to David Dahl in the top of the first inning .
» Jersey worn by Lynn as he pitched 6.0 shutout innings to record a 1-0 victory .
» Base used in the game .
In addition , the Hall of Fame requested tickets from the originally scheduled Globe Life Field opener on Tuesday , March 31 versus the Los Angeles Angels .
The items will be displayed at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in the upcoming weeks .
The Rangers also donated several items to the Hall of Fame last fall from the final game played at Globe Life Park in Arlington on September 29 , 2019 .
No place is this celebrated more dramatically than the North Entrance of Globe Life Field , where the Rangers “ Mount Rushmore ” are honored with a custom display and sculpted jersey embedded into the iconic columns that line the North side of the ballpark .
Eight shadow box displays greet fans entering the ballpark and let them know they are in the home of the Texas Rangers . Featured in these displays are the five players whose numbers are retired by the team , the two American League Championship teams ( 2010 and 2011 ), and the Arlington mayor whose vision brought an MLB franchise to this city .
Inside each display is a sculpted Rangers jersey from each honoree ’ s era that offers a stylized realism to give the appearance the jersey is hanging in a locker . Each jersey , hand carved and crafted out of foam and paint , is displayed in a custom-stained wood cabinet along with an iconic photo and the honoree ’ s name etched into the display in gold .
