SportsDay Rangers Episode 45: Bobby Valentine

What a turnaround! Here comes home-field advantage: What a difference a week makes. The guys are getting whiplash from the Rangers' turnaround that saw them win six straight, storm into first place in the AL West and look like an energized team with a real identity. After they finish catching their breath from the turn of events, John welcomes in former Ranger manager Bobby Valentine, who guided the team from 1985-92. Bobby V regales the fellas with how ahead-of-the-curve Tom Grieve was as a GM, how John turned him from Bob to Bobby and which of the Rangers' great Puerto Rican talents from the period made the biggest impression. Finally, presidential historian John takes us down a walk through the Rangers, July 4 and the Declaration of Independence. A mashup only he could pull off. Learn more about your ad choices.
