The 2005 Park Place Dealerships Texas Rangers Triple Play will be held on Sunday evening, May 22 at The Wyndham Anatole Hotel in Dallas.

“The Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation is grateful to Park Place Dealerships and the Texas Rangers players and coaches for their participation in making the Park Place Dealerships Triple Play gala a resounding success,” commented Norm Lyons, Vice President of Community/Player Relations.  “The net proceeds from this event allows the Foundation to continue its impact on the youth and families of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.”

This unique evening has Rangers players and their wives competing in several of America’s favorite TV game shows, including "The Match Game," "Family Feud" and "Jeopardy."  In addition, there will be a fabulous dinner, and a Live and Silent auction with sports memorabilia and travel packages such as:

Conceived by Texas Rangers television announcer Josh Lewin, the event has raised more than $130,000 for the Texas Ranger Baseball Foundation. 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.
