John Southard is a life-long Rangers fan living in Fort Worth, Texas. He works as a Brand Historian for an archival company called Heritage Werks, and works closely with the Rangers to curate exhibits and displays that highlight the team’s history. We chat about how he found what many people would consider to be a dream job, what the process of working with a new team is like, and some favorite artifacts he’s encountered.
We also discuss how his love for the game developed at a young age, partly in thanks to his dad studying pitching mechanics as a kinesiology professor, and how he was infamously forced to leave Nolan Ryan’s 7th no-hitter early to beat traffic.
