The Texas Rangers are in the American League Championship Series vs the Detroit Tigers. On Monday night after the game we talked with the voice of the Rangers Chuck Morgan.For three decades, Morgan's voice and his creative talents have been a special part for any fan making a trip to the Ballpark in Arlington, whether it is a season-ticket holder or someone seeing baseball -- and the beloved Dot Race -- for the first time. His booming voice with the distinctive southern-flavored accent -- he is a former Nashville disc jockey and announcer for the Grand Ole Opry -- has become an institution in Texas no less revered than the immortal Bob Sheppard for Yankee Stadium fame.Morgan has become an integral part of the franchise's soul and senior executive vice president and former catcher Jim Sundberg called him, "The greatest Texas Rangers fan I know. He puts his heart and soul into it."Former Rangers vice president Larry Schmittou brought him to Texas in 1983 and he was there for Opening Day that year on a freezing night when there were 13,000 fans in the stands and the rest of the state was watching the Houston Cougars' Phi Slamma Jamma playing in the Final Four."It wasn't that memorable," Morgan said.Certainly not as memorable as Neftali Feliz striking out Alex Rodriguez for the final out of the American League Championship Series last October and allowing the Rangers to advance to the World Series for the first time in franchise history. Thanks Chuck for the interview and we wish you nothing but the best.Cedric Bailey and Gordon Jackson
