Elvis is in The Building…Leaving Rangers Fans “All Shook Up” Over Rookie's Promising Debut

Elvis Presley’s hit song “All Shook Up” blared through Rangers Ballpark within seconds of rookie shortstop Elvis Andrus’ first base hit as a Texas Ranger.  Jumping from Double-A Frisco to the major leagues, Andrus went up to bat in his major league debut during the second inning of the home opener versus the Cleveland Indians and reigning Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee.  Andrus promptly laced a double down the right field line and scored 4 pitches later on Ian Kinsler’s single. 

Defensively, Andrus turned two double plays in the first four innings of the game, and later showed great range up-the-middle to nab a grounder and rob the Indians of a sure hit.  The Rangers defeated the Indians 9-1.

“Elvis is an extremely talented young player and we feel that with his talent and Michael (Young) at third base, we’re going to be so much stronger defensively on the left side of the infield,” Rangers president Nolan Ryan said before the game.
