Local officers recently chased a male suspect away fron a preteen girl who appears to be a Rangers coach caught with his pants down and masturbating per police insider.
The youth coach with the MLB RBI program was not at the West Dallas sports complex, but the insider tells Other Side Dallas he was viewing an underage girl approximately seven or eight years old in the vicinity of local security officers who broke a surveillance operation to warn him away from the area.
Major League Baseball and Texas Rangers officials were notified earlier this week. As of Thursday they had not responded for comment. The coach, alleged to be Edward Taylor, was identified when he was named in a press release and a neighbor called in the tip.
Rangers Coach Caught With Pants Down – Not The First Incident
The Texas Rangers are hosting a regional Major League Baseball RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner cities) tournament this weekend, but the allegation against one of their coaches is not the first problem this year at the complex.
Earlier this year a head coach was ejected after refusing to leave the field and umpires had to leave the field due to violent behavior by coaches at the Mercy Street Complex.
There areat least two other incidents where coaches threatened one another or acted dangerously during the RBI season.
Issues have been ongoing for years according to one softball coach who refused to be named.
She states every year the Rangers program director, Juan Leonel Gárciga, has to bring up the topic of on field violence, but he never handles it until after an incident and he almost always rewards coaches friendly to him.
In a previous year an umpire on the field told a high school student to “shut the fuck up” per a source employed by the Rangers so behavior control goes beyond coaching and staff, but is more widespread.
