The Texas Rangers' home opener is less than a week away, and the team has been finalizing their starting lineup. Taylor Hearn received the news that he will be starting on April 11th. Raised in Royse City, this is even more special since Hearn grew up a Rangers fan.

He said it's "surreal" and he never thought something like this would be possible. His family was equally excited. Hearn added that he wants other kids in DFW to realize that this dream is possible to achieve.
