Rangers to Give All Fans Replica ‘Bloody’ Nolan Ryan Jersey on May 29

The promotion re-creates Ryan’s 1990 bloody‑lip game with simulated blood as a centerpiece of the team’s nostalgia‑driven 2026 slate.

Overview

  • The giveaway is scheduled for May 29 against the Royals at Globe Life Field, and every attendee will receive the throwback jersey.
  • The item is a replica with fake blood, nodding to Sept. 8, 1990, when a Bo Jackson one-hopper split Ryan’s lip.
  • Ryan remained in that game, struck out eight and pitched into the eighth inning before receiving six stitches afterward.
  • The jersey joins a promotions calendar that includes a club‑record 16 bobbleheads, with a July 20 edition depicting Ryan’s 1993 altercation with Robin Ventura.
  • While most items are limited to the first 10,000 fans, the bloody‑lip jersey will go to all fans, and team officials say supporters have long requested such a giveaway.
