About
Greene’s Hill
A chaotic little corner of the web that combines baseball, zines, nostalgia, and probably too many opinions about the dot race.
Greene’s Hill is a Texas Rangers fan site built on the idea that baseball writing doesn’t have to look like every other sports blog on the internet. No hot takes dressed up in suits. No algorithm-brained content calendar. Just genuine, weird, obsessive love for this team.
It’s a blog. It’s a sticker book. It’s a video vault. It’s a place where we remember guys who hit .218 in 38 games and wore wraparound shades and that’s enough. That’s enough to be worth remembering.
Think of it like a zine that got a website. Or a baseball card collection that learned HTML. Either way, you’re here now. Welcome.
The Idea
Started as a Google Doc of Rangers observations that nobody asked for. Realized pretty quickly that a Google Doc is a sad place to put a bit about Bruce Bochy’s skin-shedding schedule.
The Build
Started putting it together for real. Pulled in some hand-drawn art from a very talented collaborator (hi sis). Started figuring out what the thing actually was — part blog, part zine, part digital scrapbook.
Greene’s Hill Goes Live
First posts. First stickers. First time someone outside of family found it and read the whole thing. Still one of the best days.
Still Going
New posts. New stickers. New sections in progress. The Rangers keep playing baseball and we keep having opinions about it. Some things are just meant to be.
Greene’s Hill doesn’t look like a normal sports blog on purpose. Here’s what went into it.
Zine Energy
Zines are handmade, scrappy, and personal. That’s the vibe. Not polished to death. Feels like something a real person made because they cared about it.
Vintage Baseball Cards
Old Topps cards. Score cards from the 80s. That parchment-and-ink look. Baseball has always had great graphic design and we wanted to borrow from that history.
Early Internet
Marquee tickers. Win95 popup windows. Things that feel like they came from a Geocities fan page circa 1998. Intentional chaos as a design choice.
Hand-Drawn Art
All the original illustrations on the site were drawn by hand. Real pencil, real paper, real person. That’s not something you get from a stock photo library.
Join Greene’s Hill FM
Weird emails. Rangers takes. Occasional deep cuts on guys who hit .218 in 48 games. No spam. No algorithms. Just the good stuff straight to your inbox whenever we feel like it.
Say Something
Got a tip? A take? A memory about a Rangers game from 1997? A submission for the site? A complaint about the dot race odds? We want to hear it.
My name is Ethan Adams. I’ve been yelling about the Texas Rangers on the internet since I was twelve. It started with an Instagram account called @rangers.republic, turned into a Dallas sports blog called Lone Star Locker, and now it’s this — Greene’s Hill.
This site is my way of getting back to what I love: talking about the Rangers. It’s a mix of blog, zine, fever dream, and fake merch catalog. There are ghosts. There are stickers. There’s at least one Jack Leiter shrine.
I’m still active on Rangers Twitter and run @nocontexttxr, where I silently observe the cesspool of chaos most of the time and ocasionally weigh in myself.
