2. Rafael Palmeiro

With two productive stints with the Texas Rangers, Rafael Palmeiro was not a flashy player, but always put up consistent hitting and power numbers that put Palmeiro amongst the top of the list in most offensive categories.  As a Ranger, Palmeiro blasted 321 Home Runs with a Slugging Percentage of .519, and 1,692 Hits of his 3,000 plus were in Texas.  Had Palmeiro been an Outfielder with his production he would likely have made more All-Star Games.

Due to his controversy with getting caught for PED use late in his career as an Oriole, Palmeiro has been excluded from the Baseball Hall of Fame and Rangers Hall of Fame.  Despite this, we feel confident that this high rank is appropriate for Palmeiro.

1. Ivan Rodriguez

Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez was the face of the Texas Rangers for a decade, and why not?  “I-Rod” was considered to be one of the best Catchers of the 1990s by whatever metric you used.  He could hit for average, eight times batting over .300 for the Rangers, earned six Silver Sluggers, and had some power with five seasons over 20 Home Runs, but he was even more known for his defensive skills.
Belarus.  If the women are hot are they “Bella Russians”?  If that is the case, here is one comely “Bella Russian” in tennis player, Victoria Azarenka.  

284. Denisa Rosolova

Jumping Jumping Jumping.  Maybe that is a little repetitive by the good doctor, but when Czech Republic sweetheart does it, Denisa Rosolova, it is an exercise that I don’t mind repeating over and over again!
