3 Texas Rangers you totally forgot were All-Stars

The 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is tonight at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia and while there is one Texas Ranger on the roster, none will appear in the game.

While the Rangers' lone representative, right-hander Jacob deGrom, will not be forgotten it's hard to imagine that fans will remember who the 2025 Texas All-Star was due to the lack of prescense in the box score.

This reminded us of past members of the Texas Rangers that were selected to the All-Star Game and may go unknown to this day, either for reasons that they didn't appear in the game or you just flat out forgot they were ever Texas Rangers.

3 Texas Rangers All-Stars fans totally forgot about

Ian Desmond, 2016

If you remember the 2015 and 2016 Texas Rangers run and subsequent ALDS misfortunes, you are for sure aware of Ian Desmond. But there might've been a time where he was underestimated just how good he was in a Rangers' uniform.

Coming over to Texas as a free agent prior to the 2016 season, Desmond hit .326 with 15 homers and 55 RBIs prior to the All-Star Break and was selected to represent Texas alongside Cole Hamels in San Diego. It was just Desmond's second selection (and final) of his career.

He only played the 2016 with Texas but made provided Rangers' fans with a lot of memories during that season at Globe Life Park.

Matt Harrison, 2012

Texas Rangers' fans have fond memories of lefty Matt Harrison, who was an integral part of the team's two AL Pennant titles in 2010 and 2011 but it was the 2012 season that showcased him to the baseball world.

A former third round pick by Philadelphia, Harrison joined six other Rangers' as All-Stars in Kauffman Stadium that season. That first half for Harrison he threw 113 1/3 innings with an 11-4 record, 3.10 ERA and 70 strikeouts.

Unfortunately that appearance didn't go well for Harrison who gave up three runs in his one inning of work. At least he didn't get hit with the loss, that title went to Detroit's Justin Verlander.

Jeff Russell, 1988 and 1989

A breakout season for the right-hander, Russell made his first of two All-Star selections in his 14-year career in 1988 after posting a terrific first half with 91 innings of work and a 3.16 ERA.

Russell finished the season with a 10-9 record with a 3.82 ERA in 34 games, striking out 88 hitters. However, his 1989 season was perhaps the best of his career finishing the year ninth-place in AL Cy Young voting after recording an AL-best 39 saves.

His All-Star game career consist of two innings, two hits, one earned run, a walk and earned a hold in both outings. In 2015, Russell joined the Texas Rangers' Baseball Hall of Fame alongside outfielder Juan Gonzalez.
