ARLINGTON -- Two members of Ivan Rodriguez's new fraternity will be on hand when the Rangers retire his number before Saturday's game against the Astros.
Hall of Famers Roberto Alomar and Ferguson Jenkins will be present when the Rangers put Rodriguez's No. 7 on the left-field facade alongside the numbers of Nolan Ryan, Johnny Oates and Jackie Robinson.
Alomar and Rodriguez are both from Puerto Rico. Jenkins is also a member of the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame, and both wanted to be there on Saturday night.
"I've known Ivan for a long time," Alomar said.
