As lifelong Rangers fans, Greg Kinzer and Brian Sperry have experienced multiple chapters as supporters.
Most notable was the one captured by NBC 5 cameras in the 90s when the college friends became known as the"Net Men.""The front row and down the third base lane was just kind of a funnel to us. So the wall was high enough that you couldn't reach down and not fall over the stands, but you could reach a net down, and they didn't have any rules as to the size of nets," said Sperry.
"With any other sport, when the ball goes in the crowd, you throw the ball back to the official and play restarts. But with baseball, someone hits a home run, someone hits a foul ball, and it's yours, and it's like a piece of the game, and I always felt that was pretty cool," said Kinzer.Sperry would go on to share his passion for the Rangers with his wife, attending a game in his tux and her gown just hours after their wedding.
This time around, the father and son will watch together with tickets already secured for game four. Kinzer said he's holding out hope to attend game six. "I just really hope the Rangers can push through. The Cowboys have won. The Stars have won. The Mavericks have won, and I really do hope for the franchise and all of the fans out there that they really are able to do it this year," he said.
