  View photo gallery » Due to the number of requests received by the club, we are unable to provide autographs for all fans. Nevertheless we would like to suggest the following procedures to help you in your autograph search. Please direct any correspondence or requests to the specific player at:

• If you are sending an item to be autographed, it is best to send it with self-addressed, postage-paid packaging to aid in the item's return to you
• Because of the volume of mail we receive, it is impossible to trace correspondence sent to players. We therefore discourage sending items of personal value because we cannot guarantee a safe return.
• Each player is responsible for his own fan mail
• It is best not to direct a specific item to more than one player
• Only send correspondence during the regular season, between the months of April and September

With high mail volume and busy player schedules, it may take some time to receive a response. By following the procedures above, you increase your chances of receiving a response. The few extra minutes you may take in sending your request will help make it easier for the player to answer his mail during a busy season.

We hope that you find this information helpful and we thank you for your interest in the Texas Rangers.

If you are interested in receiving pocket schedules, Rangers decals, souvenir lists, or fan packs, please direct requests to the Community Relations Department at:
