Major League Baseball officially arrived in Arlington on April 21, 1972, and the Rangers made their presence known with a 7-6 over the California Angels. Since then, they've gone on to build a legacy with the help of Nolan Ryan, Pudge Rodriguez, Adrian Beltr and many others. Let your young fan represent the history of baseball in Arlington with this 2023 City Connect Replica jersey from Nike. This jersey features the 4/21 date with a lone star in the middle along with the "Peagle," a mythical creature that is the combination of two former minor league teams: the Fort Worth Panthers and the Dallas Eagles. At the bottom of the jersey, an inscription reads "Dream the big dream" - a quote from former Arlington Mayor Tom Vandergriff who spearheaded the plan to move the Washington Senators to Texas.
