The Rangers return to Texas on Friday, opening a 10-game homestand at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
The homestand launches with another installment of the Silver Boot Series, presented by the Texas Lottery, as the Houston Astros are in town Friday, August 11 at 7:05 p.m.; Saturday, August 12 at 7:05 p.m.; and Sunday, August 13 at 2:05 p.m. to continue the battle for the Silver Boot.
Friday's festivities will include Pudge Rodriguez signing copies of his new book, "They Call Me Pudge: My Life Playing the Game I Love," in the Kid's Zone before the game. Fans wanting even more Rodriguez memories can head to the first base concourse both Friday and Saturday for a photo opportunity with his Hall of Fame plaque.
That night's Friday Fireworks show will be set to a number 7 theme.
On Saturday, the Rangers will host a Pudge Rodriguez Pre-game Number Retirement Ceremony. Multiple Rangers alumni who also sported the No. 7 will be on hand for the occasion and will be signing autographs on the first base, third base, and home plate concourses prior to the game.
Rangers players will don 1999 throwback uniforms Saturday as the team turns back the clock for Rodriguez's ceremony, too.
The first 15,000 fans that night will receive a PowerAde/Walmart Pudge Rodriguez HOF Bobblehead, and the first 40,000 will receive a commemorative Pudge Rodriguez Certificate.
Sunday's series finale with Houston will mark another Blue Bell Ice Cream Sunday.

On Saturday, the first 15,000 fans will receive a McDonald's Adrian Beltre Starting Lineup Figurine. And country recording artist Aaron Watson will perform following the game, presented by Budweiser.
The concerts and giveaways both continue on Sunday, as the first 7,500 fans, 13 and younger, can take home a Central Market Chest Protector Backpack.
