FRISCO, Tex. -- Every stop the Rangers have made on their Winter Caravan has been memorable. Saturday's event at Dr. Pepper Ballpark, the home of the Double-A Frisco Roughriders, was more than that -- it was meaningful.
Frisco decided that all of the proceeds from the event would go to the family of Det. Jerry Walker, the Little Elm, Tex., police detective who was killed in the line of duty on Jan. 17.
Manager Jeff Banister and several players were on hand for a VIP autograph session and brunch. Ticket-sale money from the event is headed to the family, along with money raised from a mystery baseball sale and a silent auction.
