Rangers World Series Champs

Born and raised in Dallas, still live in Dallas and life long Rangers fan. Went to game 5 in Phoenix to see us clinch. What a scene!

Long time coming!

That’s all!

Wore this, to keep it Rolex relevant

Congrats Mike, must have been great to see the Rangers run away with it once Seager got that first hit. Cool that Semien got hot again last couple games too. Enjoy the good feelings!

Why did the crowd boo Bochy at the presentation? Or were they doing what Springsteen fans do, bellowing “Broooooooce”?

I’m with Lisa on this one. Corey is amazing.

Just a show of affection for the guy.

Congrats to Rangers fans. Quite a run the team got on at the end. And nice to see the front office go for it.

Makes sense, as he’s not just a legend but seems like a nice guy.

Not to overlook Garcia, or how great the Rangers’ pitching staff were in October, but how about that kid Evan Carter? Almost wasn’t drafted at all, inauspicious season-ending injury this time two years ago in low-A, only gets called up for debut seven weeks ago, then becomes a key piece of their post-season success. Incredible.

Congrats! I was pretty certain you were going to win it all following how badly you steamrolled the Rays and then us.

Bochy, coming out of retirement was a Godsend.

He's right up there with 4 WS championships. And he did it across 2 franchises (and not the Yankees).

I’d love him to come back to the Padres.

Great timepiece, congrats!

And congrats to the Rangers for being the North America Champs.
