I attended this game at Tropicana Field, which did not go well for the home team, battered 12-3 by the Rangers. Juan Gonzalez hit two-run and three-run homers, and Pudge went deep to add a pair in the ninth. Texas totaled four doubles, a triple, and three homers, while the Devil Rays had one and exactly one of each type of extra base hit. While Tampa was not good, they had a great collection of 90s baseball names, both literally (Quinton McCracken, Rolando Arrojo) and figuratively (Canseco, McGriff, Boggs, Paul Sorrento – playing left field which I can’t imagine was pretty, Kevin Stocker, Dave Martinez) and the Rangers lineups of this period are loaded with notable names, including the more forgotten like Rusty Greer and Tom Goodwin.
