OAKLAND -- Players' Weekend will be especially profound for Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo.
Choo will not have a unique nickname on the back of his jersey. Instead, he will have his real name, but it will be written in Korean instead of English.
"I don't remember the last time that happened," Choo said. "Maybe it was on my middle school team. When I was in high school, I think we just had our numbers. When I was on the junior national team, our names were in English.
