Don't Strike Out - Stay Safe in the Heat

by Bridgette Joye, volunteer contributor

Summer in Dallas/Fort Worth is well underway and temperatures are on the rise! With the warmer, longer days, there’s an increase in outdoor activities; including the Rangers/Yankees series starting tonight in Arlington.

Here are a few tips to stay safe in the heat at Globe Life Park or any other time you’re outdoors this summer: 

• Stay hydrated! Try to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day and grab a bottle of water at the ballpark.

• Make sure whatever team attire you’re wearing out there is loose-fitting and light-colored.

• Don’t forget to wear sunscreen when spending any time outdoors; especially at a baseball game where you could be sitting outside for over two hours. 

• While everyone knows about protecting their skin from the summer heat, remember that the sun’s intensity is also dangerous for your eyes. Keep them covered with sunglasses or a Rangers baseball cap!

• Try to park your car in the shade as much as possible. Also, never leave your pets or children in a parked car, unattended – even if it is in the shade. The temperature in the vehicle will be even hotter than it is outside.

Stay safe out there this summer, & GO RANGERS!
