Most Texas Rangers fans waited a lifetime for their team to hoist the World Series trophy. The team moved from Washington DC to Arlington in 1971. And despite legendary managers like Ted Williams, Billy Martin & Buck Showalter and incredible talent like Nolan Ryan and Ivan Rodriguez, the team never could win the big one. That was until 2023.

Despite a dismal end to the regular season in 2023, the Rangers were able to hold onto a playoff spot. And from the Wild Card round through the World Series, the Rangers caught FIRE. They ended up beating the Diamondbacks in 5 games to win the first World Series championship in team history.

It was a pretty historic and legendary run that fans will never forget.
