The left-field foul line distance is 329 feet (Beltré), the deepest point of the ballpark is 410 feet (Young), straightaway center field is 407 feet (Rodríguez), the right-field foul line is 326 feet (Oates), and the backstop distance, measured from the rear point of home plate via a line running through second base, is 42 feet (Robinson). A sign just inside the left-field foul line is marked as 334 feet to honor Ryan. The power alleys, at 372 feet in left and 374 feet in right, respectively pay homage to the Rangers' first season in Arlington (1972) and first winning season (1974).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ballparkdigest.com/2019/12/04/texas-rangers-unveil-globe-life-field-dimensions/ |title=Texas Rangers Unveil Globe Life Field Dimensions |website=Ballpark Digest |date=December 4, 2019 |access-date=March 6, 2020 |archive-date=March 16, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200316033950/https://ballparkdigest.com/2019/12/04/texas-rangers-unveil-globe-life-field-dimensions/ |url-status=live }}</ref> ===Team captains=== *[[Buddy Bell]] 1985 *[[Michael Young (baseball)|Michael Young]] 2005–2012 *[[Adrián Beltré]] 2013–2018<ref>{{cite news |last=McCullough|first=Andy|title=To Dodgers, Adrian Beltre is the Hall of Famer who got away |url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/la-sp-adrian-beltre-dodgers-20180612-htmlstory.html |access-date=March 30, 2022 |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=June 12, 2018}}</ref>
