Globe Life exhibition features 2010 Texas Rangers
Elvis Andrus and his teammates on the 2010 Texas Rangers will be recognized in a new exhibition at Globe Life Field. Why it matters: Andrus, who retired from baseball last year, will be inducted into the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame this summer. It is also the 15th anniversary (gasp!) of the Rangers' first trip to the World Series. Flashback: It felt like a World Series win when the Rangers beat the New York Yankees in 2010 to win their first American League Championship. The Rangers went on to lose four games to one against the San Francisco Giants in the World Series. Yes, but: Many of the same players — plus Adrian Beltré — went back to the World Series in 2011. We still don't like talking about what happened. The intrigue: The exhibition will feature items from the 2023 World Series that were on display last season. That display includes the Rangers' lineup card from Game 5, Adolis García's bat and Corey Seager's Game 1 jersey.

Elvis Andrus to join Texas Rangers Baseball Hall of Fame
ARLINGTON – The Texas Rangers announced Wednesday morning the addition of Elvis Andrus to the club's hall of fame. Andrus will be inducted into the Rangers Hall of Fame during a pre-game ceremony on June 28 before the Rangers face the Seattle Mariners. At 36 years and 5 months of age, Andrus will be the youngest person to be inducted to the Rangers Hall of Fame. After not playing last season, Andrus officially retired as a Ranger on September 6, 2024. He started more games at one position than any player in franchise history, according to the team. To be considered for the Rangers Hall of Fame, former players must have spent a minimum of four seasons with the club and not have been an active player for a minimum of one year. Andrus was acquired by the Rangers in a June 2007 trade with the Atlanta Braves. He made his major league debut on opening day in 2009, remaining a Ranger until 2020 when he was traded to the Oakland A's. Andrus is the Texas Rangers' all-time leader with 305 stolen bases, ranks second in games, at-bats (6,366), and triples (48), and is third in runs (893) and hits (1,743). Between 2021 and 2023, he played in the minor leagues. He did not play in 2024, although he was in spring training with the Arizona Diamondbacks on a minor league contract. Andrus is a two-time American League All-Star, in 2010 and 2012. He was the Rangers' Rookie of the Year in 2009 and the team's Player of the Year in 2017. Andrus, a longtime North Texas resident, will work as a pre and postgame analyst for select games on the new Rangers Sports Network in 2025. Beginning in late March, the Texas Rangers Archives Vault will feature a special exhibit on Andrus located at Globe Life Field. In addition to celebrating Andrus, the club also announced on Wednesday their Adrian Beltre statue will be unveiled and dedicated on Aug. 22. In: Texas Rangers
