Norm Hitzges may be on the mend—but the questions don’t stop.
In this episode of Just Wondering, Mike Rhyner steps in for Norm and dives into a wide-ranging look at the current Dallas sports landscape, from the excitement of baseball season to the ongoing questions surrounding the Cowboys.
With Opening Day around the corner, Rhyner breaks down why there’s real optimism surrounding the Texas Rangers, including a healthy roster, strong spring training, and the leadership of new manager Skip Schumaker.
