The Frisco RoughRiders, the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, recently completed construction on the Choctaw Lazy River at Dr Pepper Ballpark, and let Dirk Nowitzki be the first person to test it out.
The aquatic feature spans nearly 175 feet and can hold 1,267,973 baseballs and 1,088,368 cups of nacho cheese.
Nowitzki will be hosting his annual Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game at the ballpark on Friday.
