On this date in Texas Rangers history, the Rangers hosted the first Major League Baseball All-Star game in their history.
Played on July 11, 1995, the Rangers were in their second season in their new Ballpark in Arlington. MLB was happy to bring the pomp and circumstance of the ‘Mid-Summer Classic’ to baseball’s newest home. Country star and Texas native Lyle Lovett sung the National Anthem.
The Rangers had two players named to the American League All-Star team. Catcher Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez started for the American League and played in his fourth All-Star game. Pitcher Kenny Rogers was selected to the AL pitching staff and made his first All-Star team.
