The Rangers will also recognize the Dallas native’s extensive community contributions.
The Chicago Cubs’ video board operators did what they could to help sell Zach Johnson’s pitching talent, but SportsCenter anchors John Buccigross and John Anderson weren’t buying it. As long as you don’t bounce it I think it’s a success.
Pro golfer Jordan Spieth has had quite the year.
Speaking before his pitch at Wrigley Field, Johnson said he was more nervous about leading the crowd in the singing of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh-inning stretch.
The two star golfers provided a friendly battle off the golf course. He won The Masters, won the U.S. Open, tied for fourth place at The British Open and finished second to Jason Day at this past weekend’s PGA Championship. Spieth will be feted in Arlington, Tex., before the game between the Texas Rangers and the Seattle Mariners. “Last time, I was a little weak with it, and just kind of lobbed it in”.
“I used to come a while back and my dad and I would sneak down as the game wore on to better and better seats”, said Spieth, who watched Tuesday’s game from the front row near the Rangers’ owners seats.
“This time I threw some pitches in the cages before and put a little speed on it to try and get ready”.

If nothing else, Johnson might have booked another celebrity for next year’s ZJF Classic in Cedar Rapids, in Buccigross.
