Texas Rangers sports news and analysis. Baseball updates, scores, schedules and stats on the Rangers.
No silly social media dust-up could compare with the feud between the Judge Roy Hofheinz Day and Tom Vandergriff, the man who brought Major League Baseball to North Texas.
The punch list on the Eighth Wonder of the World, as Billy Graham christened the Astrodome, was a little longer. He also smoked two dozen cigars a day and hardly ever slept, though you’d have never guessed, judging by his 24-room suite on the sixth floor of the Astrodome. His tastes lined up with his later purchase of the Barnum & Bailey circus. Bob Hope called the aesthetic “early King Farouk.” The comedy king also quipped of the Dome, “If it had a maternity ward and a cemetery, you’d never have to leave.
Finally, the president hung up, turned to Vandergriff and said, “I’m afraid not even Jesus Christ could get him to vote for you guys.” Coming in second, Mann said, was summed up best by what Ricky Bobby’s dad told his son in “Talladega Nights.”
