ARLINGTON -- The Rangers put 5,760 baseballs on a truck and sent it to Surprise, Ariz., on Friday.
The truck also carried 20 boxes of uniforms, 186 cartons of coffee, assorted golf clubs, fungo and pitching machines and anything else needed during six weeks of Spring Training.
The annual departure of the equipment truck from Globe Life Park is one of the signs that Spring Training is getting closer.
"I'm really excited," second baseman Rougned Odor said. "We are ready to go to Spring Training and start the season. I don't like to be waiting for baseball.
