Andrus, Rangers join PLAY campaign

ARLINGTON -- When Elvis Andrus looked around at his first Spring Training as a teenager, the slender shortstop wondered how he'd ever make it to the Majors.

"This is going to be hard," Andrus thought to himself. "How am I going to get to the big leagues? Everybody is so big. They have these muscles everywhere and I'm so skinny."

Andrus shared these thoughts with more than 50 kids at Globe Life Park on Saturday as part of the PLAY campaign, which aims to spread a positive message about the benefits of an active and healthy lifestyle.
