The community night, held on Thursday, featured "Nearly 1/4 of the @Rangers roster," where players shared "about their faith," an attendee said. Another fan told me three players from the starting lineup were a part of the postgame activities held in the bullpen.He said the event was "absolutely fantastic."ZERO BS.
