Had plans to watch the Tampa Yankees @ Clearwater Threshers game tonight. Game got rained out, which I found out as I got there. However, there were people waiting by the Tampa bus. I joined them, since I had planned to get something signed tonight.

Got what I wanted.

For some reason the Rangers think they need a new stadium. So there's a ballot initiative to get the people to fund a new one. I plan to vote no.

On the positive side, this meant they had an event with a few former players signing to try to drum up public support.

Jeff Russell, 8/8 cards
Darren Oliver, 8/8 cards
Bump Wills, 6/6 cards
Chuck Morgan, 1/1 team card
