The Texas Rangers will attempt a world record tonight. No, not home runs. And no, not any other feat of baseball. The Rangers organization will give away 30,000 sunglasses as fans arrive and those fans will be asked to put the sunglasses on at the end of the 6th inning in an attempt to set a world's record for Most People Wearing Sunglasses in the Dark.
An official adjudicator from Guinness World Records will be onsite to immediately confirm the successful attempt.
Don't forget to set your DVR!
Update 06/22/11: According to the person identified as a Guinness World Records Official, interviewed before the end of the game, the record was recognized. Except for seeing Nolan Ryan and George W. Bush sitting there together wearing the cheesy plastic glasses it was a pretty uninteresting stunt. The game however was interesting - a walkoff homer by the Rangers in the 11th inning. Still, I don't think I'll bother burning the video to CD.
