The Texas Rangers recently announced a special event that has generated significant excitement among anime fans. The team is set to host Jujutsu Kaisen Night on July 1, during a game against the Baltimore Orioles. As part of the festivities, the Rangers unveiled special-edition jerseys inspired by the popular anime series, which have already sold out.

Fans who secured their tickets for this event will receive these co-branded jerseys upon their arrival at Globe Life Field. The Rangers are also planning a variety of Theme Nights throughout the rest of the season. Upcoming events will include AEW Wrestling Night, Hello Kitty Night, Barbie Night, and Superman Day, among others, showcasing the team's innovative approach to engaging with their fanbase.

This collaboration is not the first of its kind for Major League Baseball (MLB), as the league previously announced a partnership with the anime series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. This initiative included a short video featuring star players such as Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani and Chicago Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga. Additionally, MLB has partnered with director Hiroshi Shimizu for a new project titled Heroes of the Game, described as an 'anime journey' featuring athletes including Shohei Ohtani, Paul Skenes, Aaron Judge, and Juan Soto. Currently, the Rangers sit third in the American League West with a record of 27-30, having lost eight of their last ten games. They came off a 2-0 shutout defeat to the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday and aim to improve as they prepare to welcome the St. Louis Cardinals, who have a record of 32-34, for the opening game of their three-game series on Friday.
