DALLAS — Before firing his president and channeling the typical exasperated Rangers fan in the process, Ray Davis had been a ghost. Just as he promised. He once said he never expected to do another press conference. That was 11 years ago. By my count, he’s violated his oath about as often as a Trappist monk.
No Rangers owner in my time has been nearly as reclusive. Taking the pulse of the others was never a problem. I talked to Eddie Chiles about how he accidentally almost sold off the Rangers to Tampa Bay, laughed in dugouts with George Bush, traded shots by email with Tom Hicks.
Ray Davis? We shook hands once.
