Ranger Suárez is making major league history with his start against the Texas Rangers

You may notice something similar about the names of Mr. Suárez and the Texas baseball team...

How often does a player face off against a team with the same name as him?

Last Friday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic tweeted about a funny comment made by Phillies starter Ranger Suárez.

Ranger Suárez is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

"It's happening, man," he said. "2022. The world is crazy."— Matt Gelb (@MattGelb) April 29, 2022

This evening, when Ranger Suárez throws his first pitch against Texas, he’ll become the first player named Ranger to play a game against a team called the Rangers.
