Delino DeShields made sure to get his guitar on the Texas Rangers’ equipment truck that departed for Surprise, Arizona on Wednesday. Isaiah Kiner-Falefa had to put his golf clubs on it.
Those were among the more notable items on a moving truck carrying about 35,000 pounds of equipment and gear from Globe Life Park to the Rangers’ spring training home out West.
“I’ve been playing guitar for like four years,” DeShields said. “It’s an easy way to get my mind off baseball.”
DeShields has a Taylor acoustic guitar. He mentioned country star Chris Stapleton as an artist whose songs he likes to play.
