World Series

PRE- WORLD SERIES

After knocking off the ‘Defending World Series Champs’, the Texas Rangers are looking for their first World Series in their franchise’s history. After back to back ‘League Championships’ going 7 games, the two exhausted surviving Diamondbacks and Rangers are preparing for a ‘battle out west’. The two teams have never faced each other in a World Series, in fact, the Rangers are only appearing in the World Series for their third time in franchise history!

WORLD SERIES

The Rangers have won their first World Series in Franchise History! In their 63-year franchise history, the Rangers have finally done it! The historic 11-0 away winning streak in the postseason was also remarkable! Oddly enough, there is definitely a bright side to both World Series teams, even the NL Pennant Champs, the Arizona Diamondbacks. While the Rangers were obviously the most successful team this year, the D-Backs have a young team that made strides this year and will definitely be back next year. I think just about everybody would tend to agree that this postseason was exciting, since a team other than the usual Dodgers, Yankees, or Astros, weren't in it. This was also an exciting World Series since the two pennant champs played different styles of baseball. Both squads played more of the get-on-base and steal-a-base mentality offensively, and pitch well and play-solid defensively mentality on the other side of the ball. All in all, congrats to the Texas Rangers for winning their first World Series ever!
