Geocache Description:


This is a mystery cache- it is NOT located at the posted coordinates! Don't try and go there, or you'll be caught tresspassing! Answer a simple trivia question below to look for this cache.

With Opening Day right around the corner, I've created a series of 9 caches in honor of our local ballclub, the Frisco Roughriders. Established in 2003 after moving from Shreveport, LA, the 'Riders play in one of the most iconic and beautiful minor league parks in America, Dr. Pepper Ballpark.

The Rangers might be a routinely abysmal franchise, but several future stars have sharpened their skills in Frisco before going onto brighters lights and bigger stages. One of them is Jorge Alfaro.

Alfaro was signed out of Columbia by the Rangers in 2010- they gave him a record 1.3 MM signing bonus. He made it to Frisco at the end of the 2014 season and by midseason 2015, was named to the Texas League All Star Team. At the Trade Deadline of that year, the Rangers traded him with five other players to Philadelphia for Cole Hamels and Jake Diekman. He made his debut in Philadelphia in 2017, and although he showed above average pitch framing skills, he led the league by swinging and missing at 23.8% of the pitches he saw. Still he notched a respectable 1.6 bWAR in 2018 and was traded to Miami before the 2019 season. In the past two seasons, Alfaro has seen his Exit Velocity, bWAR and OPS+ decline slightly.

How many home runs (HR) did Alfaro hit for the 2015 'Riders?
