The former Rangers first baseman joins Evan and John to discuss his career with Texas and his post-career venture as a high school coach.

Welcome to SportsDay Rangers!

Long-time Dallas Morning News Texas Rangers beat writer Evan Grant has teamed up with Rangers senior advisor and team historian John Blake for a new podcast. Our two hosts bring nearly 70 years of combined experience covering the Rangers to the pod.

After the Rangers were swept in Houston, John and Evan try to pick up the debris. Is there still a glimmer of hope over the final nine-game stretch of the season? John, as always, has the sunny disposition. Evan, maybe not so much.

Then Mitch Moreland joins the guys to reminisce over how he was once a version of a "Little Rascal" in 2010 and how guys like Prince Fielder and Adrián Beltré empowered him to become one of the leaders on the 2015-16 Rangers AL West championship teams. Mitch is also the fellas' first Savannah Banana guest, having now appeared twice in Banana Ball games. And he shares with the guys his route to becoming a first year high school head coach.
