Sports stars and celebrities manage to meet quite often when they do commercials or attend award ceremonies together. As a result, there are many relationships between celebs and sports stars. We’re going to take a look at some of the most successful couples and show you why they got together and how long their relationships have lasted.

Does A Full-Time Professional Career Compatible with Personal Life?

A question that is always asked is whether or not famous people can last since they tend to live such incredibly complex lives. After all, a movie star can be on a foreign film set for years, and a sports star could spend upwards of half the year constantly working with their team. People can point to a hundred examples of celebrity couples that have split, but it is not often because of their work. Most times, it is due to their personalities instead. Think of your friends and family—they have had plenty of breakups without the complexities of their job being an issue. In other words, the successful marriages of sports stars and celebs show that professional careers are not inherently bad for a relationship.

How to Meet Your Own Black Sports Star?

Finding the black partner of your dreams can be hard, but it’s possible. The best ways to meet them are:

  • Using online dating sites
  • Reaching out to them in public venues
  • Trying to meet them organically in social settings

The experts on myblackpartner say that when setting dates, be sure to describe yourself the best - who you are and what your interests are. Being open and honest will give you the best shot at finding a partner that is right for you. 

Famous sports stars are drawn to celebrity dates quite often, and they have successful relationships all the time. Something about these elite members of society makes them want to be with one another, even if their lifestyles can make it hard. As you can see, people might disparage them for what appears to be a high rate of breakups, but celebrities are no more likely to break up than regular people.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our fourth revision of our top 50 Texas Rangers of all-time.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League. 

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

This one went a complete overhaul, which was reflected in our top five as seen below.

The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article.  They are:

1. Ivan Rodriguez                                            

2. Rafael Palmeiro

3. Juan Gonzalez

4. Adrian Beltre

5. Frank Howard

Our top five remains the same, but there two new additions, and one slight elevation.  

Elvis Andrus moved up one spot from #15 to #14.  

Pitchers, Lance Lynn and Mike Minor, debut at #43 and #49 respectively.

We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.

Juan Soto is currently one of the most exciting young baseball players in the game, where he has played all of his four years in the Majors with the Washington Senators.

50. Lance Lynn

Lance Lynn had some ups and downs before he became a Texas Ranger, going to an All-Star Game in St. Louis, to missing the entire 2016 season due to Tommy John surgery.  After an unremarkable season split between the Minnesota Twins and New York Yankees, Lynn signed with the Texas Rangers in the 2019 season, and he was prepped for a comeback.
