ARLINGTON — The Rangers had an interesting guest throw out the first pitch of Sunday’s finale against the Orioles at the Ballpark in Arlington. His Royal Majesty King Oyo, the reigning Omukama of  Toro in Uganda made his first visit to a Major League Baseball game.

“I did not know that. Here? I did not know that. Are you serious?” an incredulous Julio Borbon asked before the game. “That’s awesome. I’m looking forward to seeing that. I’ve never met any king. That’s awesome.”

Oyo is one of the youngest reigning monarchs in the world at age 18. Accompanying him was Her Royal Highness, Best Kemigisa, the Queen Mother, and the honorable David K. Mureeba, the honorary Consul General for the Republic of Uganda in Dallas. Former Rangers pitcher Rich Hand also accompanied Oyo.

UNAA Times Online was able to obtain some photos from the Rangers game.  Enjoy!
