The Texas Rangers’ 81-game home schedule at Globe Life Field — yes, despite the delayed start, an entire 162-game season is scheduled — is filled with giveaways, promotions and special events planned around the 50th anniversary season since the club started playing in Arlington in 1972.
The 2022 promotional schedule includes 31 giveaway nights, beginning with a Charley Pride bobblehead (complete with a guitar) on April 15 to honor the late country singer and part-owner of the Rangers. It also happens to be Jackie Robinson Night, which this year will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Fame player breaking baseball’s color barrier.
The Rangers are celebrating 50 years in Texas with specially-designed bobbleheads of some of the team’s all-time greats, including Nolan Ryan, Adrian Beltre, Michael Young, Juan Gonzalez, Pudge Rodriguez and Jim Sundberg wearing 1972 uniforms and will be retro-styled to the look of bobbleheads from the 1970s.
Other giveaways include sets of Rangers baseball cards representing each of the previous five decades, a Nolan Ryan pitching rubber, and a 50th anniversary Mt. Crushmore statue that features the club’s top four home run hitters — Gonzalez, Rafael Palmeiro, Rodriguez and Beltre.
First-year Rangers Corey Seager and Marcus Semien will both be featured with replica jersey and bobblehead giveaways. A bobblehead of outfielder Adolis Garcia, the Rangers 2021 Player of the Year, who also finished fourth in American League Rookie of the Year voting is also scheduled.
And what kind of promotional calendar would be complete without special food offerings? The 2022 schedule is again filled with 13 Texas Chili Company $1 hot dog days and nights and 12 $1 Blue Bell ice cream Sundays for kids 13 and under.
