Rangers show kids benefit of PLAY at ballpark

ARLINGTON -- When Rangers catcher Robinson Chirinos was growing up in Punto Fijo, Venezuela, he never had the chance to take batting practice with a Major League baseball player and spend time learning from them.

Saturday morning at Globe Life Park, approximately 140 kids got that opportunity, as the Rangers hosted the National PLAY (Promoting a Lifetime of Activity for Youth) Campaign, teaching the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle for children.

Derek, Robinson & our training staff educated 140 kids today about the importance of living active lifestyles! #PLAY pic.
