Before the Texas Rangers opened their first full squad workout of spring training Tuesday morning, manager Jeff Banister held his annual team meeting with players, coaches and support staff.
Besides introducing faces to the new players in the major league clubhouse, Banister reminded the players of the meaning of the ‘86400’ and ‘The Game Knows’ slogans on the front and back of the workout shirts he had made up.
The front of the shirts read simply: “86400.” “The Game Knows” runs across the back.
86,400 Seconds in a day, which Rangers’ manager Jeff Banister hopes inspires his players to make them all count.
