The area will be very busy some weekends making this a bit harder to retrieve. This difficulty has been adjusted up slightly to account for the muggle factor in the area. However, when local schools are in session, this will be much easier. Choose your time accordingly. I opted to place this one near baseball fields for the obvious reason. I will try to Do the same with others in this series where possible, but there aren't a lot of open spaces near baseball fields! Enjoy the cache, and as always, if there is an issue with it, please let me know! I don't mind seeing a "Needs Maintenance" log if the cache needs maintenance!
Third cache in my Texas Rangers Series. I've decided to place these by position number (Pitcher 1st, catcher 2nd, first baseman 3rd, etc.) If you follow baseball, this will make sense, if not, don't worry, it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of the caches. I plan hide one cache for my favorite player for each position from the 90's to start with. Rafael Palmeiro was easily my favorite Rangers First Baseman during those days and one of my all-time favorites. Yes, his career is clouded a bit, but the man could play baseball!
According to DallasNews.com, "In two stints with the Rangers, Palmeiro played in 1,573 games, the second most in franchise history behind Michael Young. Palmeiro ranks third in Rangers history in hits (1,692), second in home runs (321) and second in RBIs (1,039). Two of his four All-Star appearances came while with Texas and his 1.050 OPS in 1999 is the highest for a single season in franchise history."
