2023 World Series Champions: Texas Rangers

Overview

The wait is over. After 52 years in Texas, their third time in the Fall Classic was the charm for the Texas Rangers. The Rangers are World Series champions for the first time in franchise history. It was a marvelous run through the Postseason, propelled to an unprecedented 11-0 road record by the historically productive bats of Willie Mays World Series MVP Corey Seager and ALCS MVP Adolis Garci´a and skippered by a likely future Hall of Famer, and now four-time World Series champion, in Bruce Bochy. General Manager Chris Young and Rangers owner Ray Davis were determined to get winning baseball back to the Texas Rangers. In addition to luring Bochy to the Rangers dugout, they brought in 2-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom during the offseason and added 3-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer at the trade deadline. Both got hurt along the way, as did Seager, Josh Jung, Jonah Heim, Nathan Eovaldi, Mitch Garver and others. But they recovered to grab a Postseason spot, and their seeding sent them on the road to face the 99-win Tampa Bay Rays, then the 101-win Baltimore Orioles, then the October-tested Houston Astros. The Rangers beat all of them. The Fall Classic stage was set against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Seager’s ninth-inning home run in Game 1 will live in Rangers lore and Garcia’s 11th-inning walk-off homer run put Texas fans in a frenzy. After the Diamondbacks took Game 2, the Rangers saddled up to take Games 3 and 4. They then survived a Diamondbacks no-hit bid in Game 5 to cap off an overwhelming Postseason run. They banded together with gutsy efforts from Eovaldi, Nathaniel Lowe, Marcus Semien and Josh Sborz in the late innings to secure their place in history books.

"Ranger fans you’re not dreaming. The wait is over. The celebration has begun." – Eric Nadel, Texas Rangers radio voice.
