Dorothy Jones has followed the Texas Rangers since the team moved to Arlington in 1972.
Rangers fans have waited a long time to see the team in the World Series. But, you'd be hard-pressed to find another longtime fan like Dorothy Jones.She's followed the team since it moved to Arlington in 1972. She and her late husband Bill were longtime season ticket holders.“I’m going to the World Series,” said Jones.
After Monday's Game 7 win, Jones, her cousins, and the director of nursing at Teresa's House Assisted Living in Argyle decided they couldn't sit this round out.“I'm kind of excited about it. I may not show it, but I am,” said Jones, giggling. “I don’t think that is something I can put into words, honestly, to know her love for the Rangers and know how long she's been watching them and to be able to actually go be a part of watching her experience that, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Nicole McCaughan, director of nursing at Teresa's House.
Despite some memory loss, Jones says she hasn't forgotten the wooden bleachers at games long ago or the best part of a spectator sport.
