Perhaps Texas Rangers center fielder Carlos Gomez will keep the rooster crowing.
Before his first at-bat Thursday afternoon in the homestand finale against the Toronto Blue Jays, Gomez came to the plate to the sounds of roosters crowing. He promptly ripped a single up the middle.
As he stood on first base, again Globe Life Park public address announcer Chuck Morgan played rooster crows.
Most of those in attendance, including in the press box and watching on television, wondered, some of us aloud, what in the heck was that about?
By the time the Rangers had wrapped up an 11-4 win over the Blue Jays, Gomez had homered twice and tied a career-high with five RBIs.
