Texas Rangers, Legendary Pitcher Boost Born Free

in Spotlight

About four years ago, baseball pitching legend and Texas Rangers co-owner Nolan Ryan spoke with reporters about having once been an “ambassador” for the snow monkeys who were living in what is now the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary. While everything at the sanctuary has changed for the better since Ryan’s visit, his dry recitation of what happened back in the 1990s became a viral hit online, attracting so much attention that the Rangers’ July 1 home game this season was declared “Nolan Ryan Snow Monkey Day” at the ballpark. Last week, as the regular season wound down, Born Free USA’s executive vice president, Adam Roberts, flew out to the Rangers’ ballpark to accept a $5,000 donation from Ryan himself — a most-welcome gift to our Primate Sanctuary, which has just completed its largest rescue ever.
