Only four games to go, not that anyone is counting.
The last time the Texas Rangers finished a season with an Anaheim-Seattle road trip was in 2009, my second season on the beat. I was in Anaheim, and I didn’t see any of the final seven games.
The morning of the first game of the trip, as is my norm on the road, I went to a gym to work out. Everything was going just fine until I lost my balance while doing squats.
I fell, and the weight on my shoulders fell with me. About eight hours later I was diagnosed with a broken vertebrae.
