Texas Rangers set new AL record ... a good one

The Texas Rangers set a new AL record for runs scored yesterday by beating the Baltimore Orioles 30-3 in game 1 of a double header.

The old AL record was 29 ... the NL record is 36, set in 1897.

even funnier because Baltimore was up 3-0 after 3 innings... Then the wheels came off:



Apparently a Rangers call-up from Triple-A hit a grand slam in his first at bat and finished the double header with 8 RBIs, tying the Rangers team record for most RBIs in a double header.

Full article on it from the Dallas Morning News:

I'm not a baseball fan, but things like this make me interested for an hour or two.

It's strange, once the losing team goes down by 10 or 12 runs, they just stop caring, so it becomes alot easier to score and score and score..

probably

It wasn't even really intentional though. In the 6th inning the Rangers sat a couple of guys to let some rookies take some at bats, which is when the guy called up from Triple-A hit a grand slam.

I remember caring about baseball when Nolan Ryan was playing.
