Some highlights of the Globe Life Field's dimensions that pay tribute to former Rangers:
Left-Field Line: 329 feet (Adrian Beltre, No. 29)
Left-Field Power Alley: 372 feet (Franchise's first season in Arlington in 1972)
Center Field (Straightaway): 407 feet (Ivan Rodriguez, No. 7)
Deepest Distance of the Park: 410 feet (Michael Young, No. 10)
Right-Field Power Alley: 374 feet (The Turnaround Gang - 57 to 84 wins - 1974)
Right-Field Line: 326 feet (Johnny Oates, No. 26)
But while the new stadium has some new distances for Joey Gallo and company to test out, the new dimensions are not too different from what the guys were used to at Globe Life Park.
