Texas Rangers Anthology Starting in 1973

I have done many different postings from manager career to player career but my personal favorite to write has been my Texas Rangers Anthology. I began in 1972 and just let the game itself tell a whole new story on the history of not only the Rangers but of Major League Baseball itself.

That thread has now reached the 1974 season and has made me want to do one that does start in 1974.

And so I will do that.

But I also want to do one starting in 1973.

I had begun one like that with minor leagues but that became too much to do.

I am going to try and play extra of these games until I can catch up with my original Rangers thread.

Just be interesting to see how different players' careers turn out in each one.

So, let us begin the 1973 Texas Rangers.
