Julio Franco had a long and storied career in baseball, playing all over the world for nearly three decades.  Franco would have his best years in MLB playing for the Texas Rangers where he would be a three-time All-Star and record his only 200 hit season.  Franco also won the Silver Slugger Award three times with Texas and the 1991 Batting Title.  As a Ranger, Franco had 725 Hits and batted .307.

While Mark Teixeira would become more famous as a New York Yankees, it was as a Texas Ranger where he would first become a baseball star.  He would win his first two Silver Sluggers and Gold Gloves as a Ranger and blasted 153 Home Runs with a .533 Slugging Percentage.

While Fergie Jenkins may have secured his Baseball Hall of Fame resume with the Chicago Cubs, he was still a very good Starting Pitcher with the Texas Rangers where he would be the American League Cy Young runner up in 1974 and still post a decent record of 93 and 72 as a Texas Ranger.  Jenkins went into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991 and the Rangers Hall of Fame in 2004.
