ARLINGTON -- The Rangers are ready to show off their nicknames for Players’ Weekend from Friday to Sunday when they play the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field.

This is the third year that Major League players get to choose a nickname that allows them to show a little personality for three days. Some are obvious and some not quite so.
