The Texas Rangers get rid of old sins and win their first World Series: “This is the vision.”
Josh Sborz got the last strike for the season, a single that the Texas Rangers had missed twice in their last try to win the World Series. He then slammed his glove into the Chase Field grass, which caused a dogpile.
It was wonderful for the Rangers substitute. It was great for the Texas fans who had been waiting for over fifty years for their team to win its first title.
The game-tying or game-winning swings to David Freese in Game 6 throughout the 2011 World Series played over and over in the minds of Rangers fans for 12 years.
As each season went by without success, they kept thinking about how they could get back at the team for that heartbreaking loss.
Their monsters were cast out on Wednesday afternoon in Arizona. The drought ended. The Rangers won the World Series for the first moment since they started out as the Senators of Washington to 1961 and moved with Texas in 1972. This was just two years after a 102-loss season.
Eric Nadel, a radio host for the Texas Rangers for a long time, made the winning call while the Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Many baseball experts didn’t think the Rangers would make it to the World Series, but they did, thanks to clutch hitting and good defense. They are now considered winners.
Let’s talk to Levi Weaver now to help us talk about Texas’ win. He writes about baseball for The Athletic as well as was at the game last night. Thank you for being here.
There have been so many baseball monsters cast out. As you may know, the Rangers’ World Series run ended in the most sad way possible. It sounds like a curse word in Texas. I’ve heard it called that.
And it seems like every year for the past 52 years, the Texas Rangers have done just the right amount of cool, exciting, or hopeful things to keep their fans interested, and then they’ve found a new, cruel way to destroy their hearts.
Also, the list of things to do is a kilometer long. But that’s all over now, right? Last year, the Rangers finally captured a title.
You can breathe a sigh of relief, their fans. The things the fact that used to make them uncomfortable don’t hurt nearly as badly when they used to.
The Texas Rangers won their first World Series in 63 years by beating Arizona 5-0 on Wednesday. They made history by going undefeated on the road in the playoffs.
Marcus Semien’s two-run homer run, Mitch Garver’s single that scored a run, and a crucial Diamondbacks mistake in the ninth inning were the plays that helped Texas win the best-of-seven championship series 4-1.
“I feel bad about it,” Semien said. “Everything I have ever worked for has to do with this moment.” The Rangers won all 11 of their playoff games played away from their home park in suburban Dallas. They won all three innings in Phoenix against the Diamondbacks to finish the season.
Nathaniel Lowe of the Rangers said, “It’s such a treat.” “We really executed a great job getting here to the road finish.” We may have had problems at home, yet we have a great group.
The Rangers were originally the Washington Senators from 1961 until they moved to Texas in 1972. They made it to the World Series within 2010 and 2011, but lost to San Francisco followed by St. Louis.
Baseball player Jonah Heim from Texas said, “That’s one among the coolest feelings of my life.” “You work hard every day for it.” We were able to reach our goals.
“This team is great!” The Diamondbacks lost the inaugural World Series game. Their only other trip was in 2001, when they won the title.
“This hurts.” This hurts so much. I just can’t get past that right now. “But I will,” said D-backs boss Torey Lovullo. “The reason why that hurts so bad is due to the we care so much.”
Arizona’s Zac Gallen left Texas hitless for six innings. The 28-year-old right-hander from the US confused the same hitters who hit 11 home runs the day before.
