Rangers and Royals to play 1999 Hall of Fame game

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) - With Nolan Ryan and George Brett expected to gain induction to the Hall of Fame, the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals will play in the exhibition game that follows the ceremonies next summer.

The induction, also expected to include Robin Yount, is scheduled for Sunday, July 25, with the game the following day.

Ryan, Brett and Young are eligible for election for the first time, as are Carlton Fisk and Dale Murphy. The Baseball Writers Association of America will vote in December, with results announced the following month.

The Rangers are 3-0 in Hall of Fame games, beating Pittsburgh (1973), San Diego (1979) and Kansas City (1986). That '86 loss was the Royals' only appearance.

Tickets for the game will be sold at the Hall on April 10. Mail orders are not accepted.
