Rangers pitcher Robbie Ross had a rookie moment on Thursday night, warming up in a gray jersey against the Orioles in the second game of a double-header.
Texas clubhouse manager Richard "Hoggy" Price got the fastest attendant he could find, put a blue jersey with the rookie's name on it in his hands and told him to "stop for no one" in his sprint to the bullpen.
"After the first game, I came in here and ate and left my sweatshirt on," Ross said.
"So when they told me to get up and get ready, I was still wearing the gray jersey. I was like, 'Oh, my gosh.' Actually, I looked up and (Scott) Feldman and (Mark) Lowe are looking at me. They told me to calm down and throw the ball and they'd get me a jersey."
Ross took some ribbing from teammates for the mistake, as you can imagine.
"If I have to wear the wrong jersey for us to get a 'W,' that's fine with me," Ross said.
