Arlington, TX -- The Texas Rangers today announced the 24 members of the Globe Life Park Era All-Time Team as the celebration of the team’s final year in this ballpark enters the final month.

The players were selected in on-line fan voting conducted by the Dallas Morning News in July with candidates limited to Rangers who played in the Globe Life Park era from 1994 to the present time. Two players were selected at each position with six outfielders being picked. On the pitching side, two righthanded and two lefthanded starters as well as one closer are being honored. Finally, the Morning News included candidates from various positions for one Fans’ Choice selection.
