Austin Hedges was dared to take Texas pride to another level if they won the World Series. He gladly obliged.
ARLINGTON, Texas — What would you do if you won the World Series?
For Texas Rangers catcher Austin Hedges, it seems like it would involve quite the outfit decision.
“I’ll wear it during the parade,” Hedges said. “Done.”
What is, it?
Well, a Cowboy hat and some chaps that are … missing some threads. Hedges spoke to Chris Rose of Jomboy Media, where the Rangers backup catcher was encouraged to wear the outfit if the team won the World Series. Hedges gladly obliged. The video was posted by Chris Rose Sports on X, formerly known as Twitter, merely 30 minutes before first pitch of Game 1.
“And if people ask you why, you’re going to say,” Rose asked Hedges.
“Cause Rosey told me to,” Hedges responded.
The Rangers moved a positive step in that direction on Friday, sealing an extra innings walk-off win at home. Hedges came in for starter Jonah Heim in the ninth inning after Heim was replaced on the bases in the eighth inning for pitch runner Josh Smith. Hedges went 0-1 at the plate after Seager tied up the game, 5-5, with a monster two run shot in the bottom of the ninth.
Hedges came to Texas in early August from the Pittsburgh Pirates and has played in 15 games since joining the team.
“If that’s not enough to root for the Texas Rangers, people, I don’t know what is,” Rose said.
