The Texas Rangers, in association with Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association, are proud to support organizations annually through our Commissioner's Community Initiative.
This ticketing initiative is designed to reach communities who might not otherwise have a chance to attend a Major League Baseball game, including local youth, public servants, community and civic groups, and non-profit organizations.
Before submitting your ticket request, please note:
- Only the Principal or Assistant Principal may submit a ticket request on behalf of a school.
- Commissioner’s Community Initiative tickets cannot be used for raffle items or auction items.
- If you are seeking an in-kind donation for an upcoming fundraising event, please visit texasrangers.com/donations.
- Donated tickets must strictly be used for the beneficiaries of the organization and cannot be sold or used for raffle or any fundraising purposes.
- Please do not select games that are within 2-3 weeks of your submission.
- There is no guarantee that any game will be awarded.
Distribution of tickets:
All tickets will be sent digitally via MLB Ballpark App about a week before the game.

Charley Pride Fellowship
To honor Charley, and in the spirit of creating a more diverse and inclusive ball club by actively recruiting the best and brightest from diverse backgrounds, the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation, in collaboration with the Roland Parrish Foundation, has created a 10-week paid internship program for juniors and seniors currently enrolled in an undergraduate program. A “Charley Pride Fellow” will be able to select three departments of interest in which to work during their time with the Rangers. This person will be able to experience firsthand what front office executives experience daily while exposing them to the professional baseball industry. This unique opportunity will place candidates in entry-level roles with the Rangers while providing them with valuable cross-disciplinary experience which will benefit them whether they choose to pursue a career in baseball or not.
Fan Mail
Please direct any correspondence or requests to the specific player at:
Player Name
Texas Rangers Baseball Club
734 Stadium Drive
Arlington, TX 76011
Due to the number of requests received, we are unable to provide autographs for all fans. If you are sending an item to be autographed, it is best to send it with self-addressed, postage-paid packaging to aid in the item's return to you. Because of the volume of requests, it is impossible to trace correspondence sent to players. We discourage sending items of personal value because we cannot guarantee a safe return.
Only send correspondence during the regular season, between the months of April and September. It is best not to direct a specific item to more than one player. With high mail volume and busy player schedules, it may take some time to receive a response. By following the procedures above, you increase your chances of receiving a response. The Texas Rangers are not responsible for any lost items.
Fan Packs
Due to overwhelming response for Fan Packs, we humbly request that you support the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation with a donation of your choice.
