PARK PLACE DEALERSHIPS TEXAS RANGERS
TRIPLE PLAY NETS MORE THAN $160,000
More than 600 people recently attended the Third Annual Park Place
Dealerships Texas Rangers Triple Play at the Wyndham Anatole hotel in
Dallas. The event, benefiting the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation, raised more than $160,000, nearly doubling the net proceeds from last yearšs event.
Mark and Leigh Teixeira, along with Josh and Dana Lewin, served as Honorary Co-Chairs. Rangers players and coaches competed in a baseball spin-off of Americašs favorite TV game shows. Outfielders Kevin Mench, David Dellucci, Chad Allen, and Laynce Nix won Fielders Feud; catcher Sandy Alomar Jr. was victorious over Rod Barajas in the Mench Game with help from panelists Brian Shouse, Ron Mahay, Jim Sundberg, and Kameron Loe; and the 'Ivy Leaguers' team, pitcher Chris Young and infielder Mark DeRosa, captured Jeopardy. In addition, Rangers rookies Kameron Loe, Nick Regilio, and Chris Young serenaded Buck Showalteršs wife Angela with a dubious rendition of the Temptationsš classic, 'My Girl.'
A very spirited auction featured sports memorabilia and travel packages such as:
- A chauffer-driven ride in a luxurious Maybach, a trip to Seattle on the
Rangers' team plane, accommodations at the team hotel, transportation on the coaches bus, VIP seating, lunch with Josh Lewin, and authentic Rangers hats and jerseys.
- Toby Keith autographed guitar plus 2 tickets to his 2006 DFW show with
special "meet & greet" passes.
- An 18-karat gold bracelet with 180 diamonds, a mink bedspread and personal chef service.
Conceived by Texas Rangers television announcer Josh Lewin, the event has raised more than $265,000 for the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation in the last three years. Established in 1991, the Foundation helps build homes for families through Habitat for Humanity as well as constructing youth baseball parks in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. It has also created many youth incentive programs such as the Wells Fargo/Texas Rangers Rookie League, and has provided financial aid to over 150 students to further their education through college scholarship programs.
