    The Texas Rangers have issued a new set of bobbleheads for 2019 commemorating all of the team's best players, including Pudge, Michael, Young, Adrian Beltre, and more.

    Well, except for Nolan Ryan. There is no Nolan Ryan bobblehead. Shocking.

    The bobbleheads are in a series called "Nine Great Moments," and are among 15 giveaways that will mark the Rangers' final season at Globe Life Park in Arlington. The club's new Globe Life Field will seat approximately 41,000 fans and be adjacent to the Texas Live! entertainment plaza. It will boast a retractable roof, air conditioning, and other perks. It opens in 2020.

    The bobblehead parade is as follows:

    • April 20: "The Batting Champs" Michael Young bobblehead, first in a series of two
    • May 3: "The Catch" Gary Matthews, Jr.
    • June 1: "The Batting Champs" Josh Hamilton
    • June 8: "The 3000th Hit" Adrian Beltre
    • June 22: "The '95 All-Star Game" Ivan Rodriguez
    • July 13: "The '96 Clinch" Juan Gonzalez
    • August 3: "The Rusty Dive" Rusty Greer (first in a series of two "Perfect Game")
    • August 17: "The Perfect Game" Kenny Rogers (second in a series)
    • September 14: "Hello A.L. Pennant" Neftali Feliz/Bengie Molina

    Bobbleheads are free for the first 15,000 fans.

    There are three commemorative T-shirts, including a Taco Casa Arlington Stadium T-Shirt on April 13; a Fox Sports Southwest/Blue Cross Blue Shield Globe Life Park T-Shirt on June 2 (both available for the first 15,000 fans, 14 and older); and a Globe Life Final Game T-Shirt on September 29 available for all fans.

    There'll be three post-game concerts: Koe Wetzel on May 4; For King and Country on May 5; and Aaron Lewis on September 14.

    May 4 is also a "Bark at The Park" event where fans can bring their dogs to the ballpark. Advance registration is required.

    Individual tickets
    Individual tickets for all 2019 games at Globe Life Park in Arlington except the home opener on Thursday, March 28 and the final series, September 27-29 will go on sale on March 1 at 9 am at the Globe Life Park in Arlington First Base Box Office, at texasrangers.com, and by phone at 972.RANGERS.

    For the sixth year, Dynamic ticket pricing will be utilized in all individual seating categories for all games. Ticket prices are adjusted in real-time based on market demand and factors such as pitching matchups, team performance, opponent, weather, and day of week. For a list of individual ticket prices, visit texasrangers.com/tickets.

    Details on individual sales for the Rangers' final regular season series at Globe Life Park, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, September 27, 28, and 29 versus the New York Yankees will be announced at a later date.

    NOTE: New for 2019, the Texas Rangers will no longer accept print-at-home PDF tickets or parking. If your tickets and parking are not printed on Rangers ticket stock, you may use an electronic version of your tickets and parking on your mobile device.

    Movie Review

    Brad Pitt auto racing film F1: The Movie has more vroom than story

    Brad Pitt in F1: The Movie.

    The sport of auto racing has been tackled in a variety of ways over the years by filmmakers, with the intoxicating ability of the cars to go super-fast often overriding whatever story they’re trying to tell. The Formula 1 circuit has been the subject of several films based on real drivers, and now it’s at the center of a fictional story in F1: The Movie.

    Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) is an aging driver who lives an itinerant lifestyle, traveling in a van to whatever kind of racing organization will give him a chance to show his skills. Ruben (Javier Bardem), an old competitor from Formula 1 who now owns his own team, comes calling when the lead driver of his team gets injured. Soon enough, Sonny has joined up with the team halfway through their season, with rookie Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris) as his teammate.

    The bulk of the film finds Sonny trying to impose his old-school ways on the modern sport, with crew members like Kate (Kerry Condon) and Kasper (Kim Bodnia) alternately bristling and marveling at his methods. Sonny and Joshua also spar, sometimes off track, but typically on, where the stubbornness of each threatens not only the success of the team as a whole, but also their safety.

    Directed by Joseph Kosinski and written by Ehren Kruger, the filmmaking team tries to bring the same you-are-there feel that they did successfully in Top Gun: Maverick. And there’s no doubt that the film is at its best when it puts multiple cameras in a Formula 1 car while it navigates tight turns and speeds down straightaways, especially because it seems like Pitt and Idris actually did some of the driving. Even non-racing fans should come away impressed with what the cars and drivers are capable of.

    Now, if you’re looking for any kind of story, you’ve come to the wrong place. The Sonny-Joshua rivalry has a bit of juice to it, but not much. Unlike most sports movies, the film rarely goes outside of the team, so there’s no antagonist to be found in the film. In fact, were it not for the presence of other cars in the various races, you’d think that Sonny and Joshua were the only drivers, with an annoying commentator constantly talking about them alone, even when they’re far behind the leaders.

    The film also struggles with making the sport accessible for non-fans. With the winding courses the circuit uses, there’s far more to it than a car’s (and driver’s) ability to go really fast. The characters use lots of technical jargon about how the design of the car allows the driver to shave tenths of seconds off their times, but the filmmakers are not able to deliver that information in a manner compelling enough to draw the viewer in.

    Pitt, as he’s been for more than 30 years, is a magnetic presence who knows how to play to the camera. Sonny is not one of his most interesting characters, but he makes the role work overall. Idris, best known for starring in the FX series Snowfall, makes the case for being the film’s breakout star, giving his character plenty of charm and cockiness. Bardem, Condon, Tobias Menzies, and other members of the team are cast well, even if the story lets them down.

    As a showcase (aka advertisement) for the sport it depicts, F1: The Movie works relatively well, giving viewers a taste of what it’s like to actually be in a rocket on wheels. As a film, though, there’s not much to recommend, to the point that it almost negates any of the positives that come from the racing scenes.

    F1: The Movie opens in theaters on June 27.
