From this point forward, Texas' sport of choice will always have to share the passion of Lone Star hearts now that the Texas Rangers are World Series-bound for the first time.
For four decades, such a thing was inconceivable. Rangers uniforms were populated by some good players over the years, but never enough of them, and never, ever with enough good pitching. The stories of Texas arms wearing down in the summer weren't mere legend. They fizzled repeatedly, leading to Rangers frustrations year after year, decade after decade.
Before winning the American League West this season, the Rangers had only made it to the postseason three times. They'd never won a series. They'd only won one game in in the playoffs. But Texas beat Tampa Bay in St. Petersburg three times to make it through the American League Division Series.
And after blowing a five-run lead in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series against New York, Texas came back to win four of the next five against the defending (and 27-time) World Series champion Yankees. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
