Tom Schieffer, whose vision, work, influences and fingerprints are all over the Ballpark in Arlington, had one reaction when he heard the Texas Rangers were building a new stadium: “It broke my heart.”
He understands these things happen, but no one invested as much time, emotion and energy into the construction of the Ballpark in Arlington more than Tom Schieffer, the former president of the club.
His heart should be broken. The ballpark is his baby.
“I don’t want to sound like a bitter old man because I’m not; I’ve led a charmed life,” he said.
