The answer to that is fairly subjective, unless you go by statistics alone which is not a true indication of "best" because of all the intangibles that intrinsically come with humanity. Based on personal preference, the top five Texas Rangers of all time, IMO, would be:

5. Gaylord Perry

4. Rafael Palmero

3. Rune Sandberg

2. Ivan Rodriguez

1. Nolan Ryan

But again, subjectivity, bias, and polling would need to be accounted for to make this a comprehensive list.

Robinson's Christianity was deep in his heart, if not always on his sleeve. Biographer Arnold Rampersad describes Robinson's religious turning not as a point-in-time conversion in mold of today's popular evangelism, but as a process that began in his youth and accelerated when Robinson as a young man developed a mentor-protégé relationship with a dynamic pastor at his church, Karl Downs. "Downs became a conduit," Rampersad writes, "through which [Robinson's mother's] message of religion and hope finally flowed into Jack's consciousness and was fully accepted there, if on revised terms, as he himself reached manhood. Faith in God then began to register in him as both a mysterious force, beyond his comprehension, and a pragmatic way to negotiate the world. A measure of emotion and spiritual poise such as he had never known at last entered his life."
