DAY FIVE: Globe Life Park in Texas
Tuesday, June 5: RANGERS 7, OAKLAND A’S 4 Every stop on #TenStadiumsTenDays so far has been pretty much West Coast (plus Denver, which feels more West Coast than Midwest to me), so the two-stop journey into the heart of Texas will give the trip a bit of a right-turn feel.
