08/31/2007, ARLINGTON, Texas -- Following a quick trip to California for three games, the Texas Rangers return to Rangers Ballpark in Arlington for games against the Kansas City Royals (Sept. 3-5) and Oakland Athletics (Sept. 7-9)

Hispanic Heritage Night festivities on Saturday Sept. 8 highlight the 12th homestand of the season and feature a post game fireworks show, sponsored by AT&T. The celebration also includes Mariachi Michoacán, Latin Music Ensemble from Booker T Washington High School, and Ballet Folklorico de Fort Worth performing on the concourse prior to the start of the game. In a special pre-game ceremony, the Rangers and AT&T will honor Hispanic players and coaches from both the Rangers and the Athletics with a video, awards, and presentation of flags that represent the players' native countries. The first 25,000 through the gates that night will receive a poster commemorating the event, compliments of AT&T.
