The Texas Rangers are a professional baseball team in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, based in Arlington, Texas.
Gary Simpson, Read To Me Foundation Board Member and his cousin Bob Simpson, co-chairman of the Board of Directors of the Texas Rangers and founder of XTO Energy made it possible for Jaci, family and friends to watch the Texas Rangers game on Sunday, Sept. 17th, from the Sky Box that Bob Simpson personally made possible for Jaci's special game day.
(Nolan Ryan, former Major League Baseball pitcher "The Ryan Express", and principal owner, President and CEO of the Texas Rangers)
A Day with the Texas Rangers all began when Gary Simpson traveled to Dallas Texas to meet Jaci and her parents during a difficult hospital stay after Jaci's car wreck. He quickly bonded with Jaci through their love for baseball and promised her a special day at a Ranger's game when she was released from the hospital and felt up to traveling to the game.
What a fun day it was for Jaci and Gary
Gary and Jaci are both baseball fanatics as well as huge Ranger fans. In Gary's words "Jaci brought the Rangers good luck for Sunday's game Texas Rangers-Mariners.
They won 8-1
Thank You to Gary, Bob Simpson and the Texas Rangers for giving Jaci a day she will cherish forever

Gary presented Jaci with the latest RTMF children's bilingual book "Operation Got Your Back", a book to salute the military children of deployed soldiers.
