ARLINGTON, Texas — When the Rangers City Connect uniforms were unveiled earlier in the week, Marcus Semien had the most accurate review of the new designs.
“If we win in them,” he said, “everybody will love them.”
Based on that, they may never see the light of day again. On Friday, everything seemed lined up for the uniform debut to go smoothly. Cash registers were in top working order for the big merchandise play; card swipers were oiled up and checked out. And the Rangers even brought in Oakland, the worst team in the majors, fresh off news that A’s ownership had entered into a real estate negotiation to once, and for all, abandon the city.
