The Frisco RoughRiders are up to some minor league hijinks again. The Texas Rangers’ Double A affiliate is bringing back Runner-Up Night on May 16 at Dr Pepper Ballpark to, as their press release says, “celebrate many of the all-time great second-place finishers from the world of sports and entertainment.”
Of course, this is a nod to the film “La La Land” having its best picture Oscar trophy taken away moments after they were erroneously announced the winner during Sunday’s Academy Awards telecast. Moonlight was correctly awarded the trophy after a couple of cringe-inducing moments.
