Texas Rangers

1989

In late 1963 or early 1964, I met an elderly man who was touring the country as retired Texas Ranger, Ed Hiler. I was about 14 years old, and this man was brought to the Wade Hampton Mall in Greenville, South Carolina as a promotional attraction. He wore western clothes and two Colt .45 pistols, which he said were commemorative Centennial pistols given to him by the Colt company. They were either silver or nickel plated, and very beautiful. He said that he rode with a group that was chasing Pancho Villa, and that one of Villa's men attacked him with a knife, trying to slit his throat. He showed me the edge of his hand with a deep scar, which he said he received while blocking the attack.

He said that he had know Wyatt Earp, and that when Earp on on his death bed in Los Angeles, Earp gave him his Derringer pistol.

I don't remember much else, but I still have a card (post card size) with Ed Hiler's picture on it.

It would be very interesting to be able to verify the truth of this man's claims, but there must be something to it, as he was there all day at the mall and was being billed as an attraction to come see.

$50-150 depending on condition (wear and usability) and your location (small town/country = lower end, urban/suburban area = higher end)

Texas' state bird is the mocking bird

The majority of Texas is in the CENTRAL STANDARD TIME ZONE. A very small portion of west Texas is in the MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME ZONE. 10:00 P.M. EST = 9:00 P.M. CST 10:00 P.M. EST = 8:00 P.M. MST

There isn't enough room on most small maps to place the entire state of Alaska on the map. They put a tiny, unrealistic sized picture of Alaska in the bottom left, near Hawaii because it will fit nicely there. Alaska doesn't fit very well on a Map of the U.S. also because it is so much farther north than the the other states.

Yes, he has 2. A little girl named Riann (2) and a little boy named Jack (?)

He has moved onto Radio for his main gig. He hosts the "Josh and Elf" show on 105.3 The Fan. Its a sports talk radio show in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. They are on from 10am-2pm every week day.

He also serves at the radio voice for the San Diego Chargers.

As far as him being fired or quitting, I think they couldn't agree to the same terms and both the Rangers and Lewin walked away.

Antonio Alfonseca, former pitcher in the Texas Rangers organization, has six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. His nickname is "El Pulpo" ("the octopus"). Alfonseca claims that several of his family members have the same trait. The extra finger provides no advantage in pitching as it never touches the baseball.

The phone number of the Texas Rangers Baseball Club is: 817-273-5222.

Young is great but is not a Hall of Famer.

Alexi Ogando has a cyst of his cheek, but he has not publicly addressed the issue (if it even is one), so the cause is unknown.
