the ballpark in arlington

As I reported back in November, Rangers Ballpark in Arlington is receiving some major updates and upgrades. The entire outfield area, including Vandergriff Plaza, visitor's bullpen and bleacher seats are getting a facelift. The $11.5 million project will be complete by opening day of this 2012 season.

A tragic event happened Thursday night at The Ballpark in Arlington.  A foul ball bounced off a seat and back in to the field.  Rangers outfielder, Josh Hamilton, picked up the ball and tossed it up in to the stands above the out of town scoreboard in left field.  More after the jump.
