Ranger Baseball Card Double-Shot



.....and the TWINS!!! No, unfortunately not that kind of twins. Keston and Kelvin McCabe were original Rangers in 2002 but soon split apart. Kelvin played for the Rangers in 2003 and Keston, after a year absence, rejoined the team in 2004. One oddity about the twins is that one batted Right-Handed and one batted Left-Handed. Which one did what is a fact that is not really remembered. The first ever Home-Run hit in Ranger history was hit by Kelvin at Taft High School and Keston hit 2 Home runs in that inaugural season. The McCabe's also were fantastic drinkers and still can occasionally be seen at the longtime Ranger sponsor Gio's on Damen. Best known for partying with Estonians, they brought their Estonian Entourage to one of Scary Swary's Chungoween Parties. When the Rangers went to see the Parent Club defeat the White Sox at Comiskey Park in 2002 for Elvis Night, Kelvin dressed up as Elvis and forever will be known as "Kelvis". One McCabe is a personal trainer and the other is a lawyer, which is which is unknown at this time.
