The Texas Rangers fans set a different kind of a Guinness World Record on Tuesday. A record number of people wore sunglasses in the dark at Rangers Ballpark on Tuesday.
With the previous record standing at just 424, it was hardly a fight and the representatives from Guinness didn't need to go any further than sections 314 and 315 to establish the record. Nevertheless, most of the 33,533 people in attendance wore red or blue shades, which were provided by Reliant Energy.ÂÂ
The large crowd of fans also included former US President George W. Bush, an avid supporter of Rangers, who sat in the company of club president Nolan Ryan. Both were seen sporting sunglasses.
"I'm pleased to say that 424 people participated in this attempt," said Danny Girton Jr., senior corporate communications manager for Guinness. "There were a further unconfirmed 30,000 who helped Reliant Energy in this attempt."
