On Wednesday, the Texas Rangers introduced an exhibit inside Globe Life Field showcasing decades of team memorabilia, notably featuring the baseball used by pitcher Josh Sborz to secure the final out of the 2023 World Series against Arizona’s Ketel Marte.

The exhibit serves as a tribute to the team’s inaugural World Series victory and pays homage to the lone previous MLB All-Star Game held in Arlington, as per the Texas Rangers.
National Baseball Hall of Famer Ivan Rodriguez and longtime team executive John Blake were on hand to unveil three display cases housing artifacts and photographs from the 2023 World Series and the 1995 All-Star Game at The Ballpark in Arlington.
