Joey Gallo: The Day The Baron Of Blasts Made His Debut

This story starts off in 2014, but very briefly. Every employee of the Texas Rangers got hurt in 2014. Players? Yup. Front office personnel? You bet. Parking lot attendants? A valet went down with an ACL tear as he sprinted to fetch a Lexus (ok, he caught a cramp but he was in pain, man).

So when the 2015 season arrived, the fans, players, front office, and especially that valet — he recovered and is now faster than ever — didn’t want to see another injury ever again. Then Adrian Beltre’s thumb decided to get injured.
