The John Tyler of the Texas Rangers

The AFP headlines the story about Nolan Ryan taking a job in the Rangers front office:

Hall of Famer Ryan named Rangers 10th president

Being named the 10th president of the Texas Rangers would be more meaningful if I could more easily figure out who the first nine were. The last one was Jeff Cogen. Jim Lites and Michael Cramer also held the post. I don't believe George W. Bush had the title when he owned part of the Rangers.

At least the Rangers' 9th president had a little better time in office that Tyler's predecessor.

1 One of Tyler's grandchildren is still alive; Harrison Ruffin Tyler (b 1928). I don't know why I find that the least bit interesting.
