I know it's tough to root for the Texas Rangers even though you may feel sorry for them after our SF Giants beat them 4 games to 1 in last year's World Series, but as the Daily Journal poll notes you can root for the Rangers with B'game's own Scott Feldman as a reliever or the Cardinals with Daniel Descaiso from RWC playing infield. You know what to do here, B'gamers!
Scott Feldman is a true B'gamer having gone to Lincoln, BIS and then he pitched for the BHS Panthers back in 2001. I had dinner with his Lincoln kindergarten teacher last week and apparently he was a nice boy even then.
Tonight he came into Game 5 with one man on and one out in the 6th inning when the Rangers were down 2-1. He hung a curveball that went for a single, but then got an infield out and a K to end the inning. Well done, Scott, and the Rangers came back to win 4-2.
Here's the Panthers' field of play in Washington Park with some guys who are about Scott's age playing in the alumni game. We're lucky to have such a historic field that teams travel from far and near to play on every chance they get!
Scott Feldman had a shot tonight. Relieving in the 10th inning of a potentially deciding World Series game. He had an open base and got to intentionally walk Albert Pujols, but the next batter got a 2 strike RBI single to tie the game and send it to the 11th. The Rangers manager decided to pinch hit for Scott and the next Ranger pitcher gives up the home run in the bottom of the 11th. Tune in tomorrow night for Game 7.
