Frisco RoughRiders News Release
FRISCO, TEXAS - The Frisco RoughRiders, the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, are holding a fan vote to determine which Star Trek-inspired jerseys the team will wear on Vulcan Salute to Star Trek night June 11 vs the Midland RockHounds.
Fans will have the choice between two jersey designs: one inspired by the original series and the other modeled after Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Voting is open now through next Tuesday on the team's Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as on RidersBaseball.com. Voting will close at midnight on Tuesday, April 26th. Additionally, one fan who votes for the winning design will be selected to receive a replica of the winning jersey. Fans are encouraged to use the hashtags #TeamSpock (original series) and #TeamPicard (Next Generation) to support their favorite jersey.
The special jerseys will be part of a fun-filled night at Dr Pepper Ballpark. Throughout the evening, various video and music clips from the various renditions of the show will be played, and there will also be a tribute to Leonard Nimoy, the actor who played Spock in the original series. Plus, the LED outfield wall markers will be measured in light years. Fans will also have the opportunity to purchase the player's game-worn jerseys during an in-game silent auction with proceeds benefitting the RoughRiders Foundation.
