Do You Know About MLB - Texas Rangers?

In 1977, the Texas Rangers turned their first triple play in team history.

Bobby Witt hit the first home run by a pitcher while wearing a Texas Rangers uniform.

Toby Harrah was the first Texas Ranger to be selected as an All-Star.

Mark Teixeira hit for the cycle in the 2004 season for the Texas Rangers. This means that in a single game, he hit a single, a double, a triple, and a home run. Hitting for the cycle is a rare feat in baseball and requires a player to have a combination of power, speed, and hitting ability. Teixeira's accomplishment in the 2004 season showcased his versatility and skill as a hitter.

The Texas Rangers only won one post-season victory during the 20th century (1900-1999).

Gary Ward was the lone Texas Ranger selected to the 1985 American League All-Star team. This means that out of all the players on the Texas Rangers team, only Gary Ward was chosen to represent the team in the All-Star game.

David Clyde is the correct answer because he was selected by the Texas Rangers in the 1973 MLB draft and made his major league debut just 22 days later. This was a highly unusual move as players are typically given more time to develop in the minor leagues before being called up to the majors. Clyde's quick promotion was seen as a marketing ploy by the Rangers to boost attendance, but unfortunately, his career did not live up to the hype and he struggled with injuries and inconsistency.

Dave Nelson is the correct answer because he was the Texas Ranger who stole second, third, and home in the same inning in 1974. This feat is known as a "straight steal of home" and is a rare occurrence in baseball. Nelson's accomplishment showcases his speed and base-running skills, making him the correct answer to this question.

The Kansas City Royals beat the Texas Rangers in the final game at Arlington Stadium.

Darren Oliver is the correct answer because he was the Texas Rangers pitcher who threw the first pitch in the first interleague game in Major League history. This game took place on June 12, 1997, between the Texas Rangers and the San Francisco Giants. Oliver's pitch marked the beginning of a new era in baseball, as interleague play was introduced for the first time, allowing teams from the American League and National League to face each other during the regular season.

Bert Campaneris was the only American League All-Star from the 1977 Texas Rangers squad. This can be inferred from the question, which asks for the only All-Star from that team.
