ARLINGTON, Texas -- Jake Burger will wear No. 21 with the Texas Rangers, a number that has special significance for the first baseman's family after his daughter was born with Down syndrome.
The clinical name for Down syndrome is trisomy 21, a condition in which a person is born with an extra chromosome, causing mild to moderate cognitive disability, developmental delays and physical challenges.
"This is the first time I can pick a number that's not just close to my heart, but close to a lot of people's hearts," Burger said.
