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.

Elina Salomaki, the flaxen haired beauty from Finland has done well on the both the beaches and hard wood of volleyball.  The good doctor is thinking that maybe catching a volleyball tournament in Northern Europe wouldn’t be a bad idea!

The good doctor has occasional bouts of jealousy.  When I look at Belarusian hurdler, Alina Talay, I am jealous of the inanimate object known as the hurdle.
