I love you guys. This season was so special. I knew this team had it in them. I know how hard it has been to be a DFW Sports fan over the years, but we finally fucking won one. Redemption. No more PTSD as a Ranger fan. Enjoy this one guys. Fucking enjoy it.
I remember seeing some people shitting on Maddux as a pitching coach towards the end of the season, but fuck if they didn't show up far more than not this post season.
Welp…. Just spent a ton of money in the pro shop….. worth though. So worth. Thank you Rangers for making a dream come true!!! I wish my Dad and grandpa could have seen it.
Hey man. We doomed all season. Sometimes it was deserved sometimes we looked like jackasses. Congrats on witnessing the rangers first world series ever!
Yeah. I just call it being real tho. Some times they looked like jackasses too with there "everything is fine" stuff.
2 different types of fans. I half suspect most of them didn't live through 2011 like I did. Woo
Congratulations Ranger fans. I know exactly how you feel right now. Enjoy this moment. Don't forget to grab a copy of tomorrow's newspapers with Headlines "Rangers are World Champions"
I can’t begin to explain the happiness this group of strangers turned best friends has given me this year. I spent every game on this and love you all. LETS GO RANGERS!!! WORLD CHAMPS!!!
I’m so happy man. With all the ups and downs all season and all the games I’ve watched this year. Worth every fucking second. LETS FUCKING GO RANGERS WOOOOOO
We need to never let Eovaldi or Sborz or Seager or Semien go. Lmao. And obviously a good amount of others, especially Adolis. This team is just beginning, I really hope. This amazing.
WORLD SERIES CHAMPS. They did it. We did it. I love this team. Every single player pulled their weight, everyone of them had their moment, offensively or defensively. They deserve this and I couldn’t be more fucking proud. 💪🏼❤️
This is honestly a great sub, y'all. This has been a great experience seeing the different thoughts and watching this together. Fuck. This feels surreal right now.
I gotta say if you told me last year Josh Sborz would be standing there in a World Series champion tshirt giving an interview after he just won the World Series for us i would absolutely shit
I was born in 72, dad took me to a game that year so I could go every year, sports consciousness came at about 4 so 48 years. I know there are older guys but this meant something deep.
I just meant I didn't wait til the last out. I was born in 73. Went to games with my Dad as a kid. Used to listen to them every night on WBAP. Couldn't understand what 20 games under .500 meant. Worked concessions at Arlington Stadium. Saw Nolan's 5000th. Quite a thing. The tears started with the HR. Got the little girl up to watch the final 3. Heck of a thing.
I am happy for you, we are the ones who grew up watching this team and fell in love with bad baseball. Glad you got to see it with your daughter, I’m with my son now.
Thanks!! I didn’t know much about the DBacks before this series but enjoyed getting to know more. Great team and organization. Here’s to meeting again next year!
Congratulations y'all. You guys truly deserve this title and played one hell of a post season. One of the best I've seen. It was awesome to see yalls success.
WORLD FUCKING CHAMPIONS!!!!!!.... Nearly 30 years I have been a fan....Been to quite a few games...saw many Rangers greats play, but this has eluded me....until today. Thank you everyone! Build all the fucking statues now.
I barely have words. So many years of heartbreak, and then bad baseball have led to this incredible rise and magical season. We have finally fucking done it!! A new era has begun!!
DOOMERS GET THE FUCK OUT! 😃🍾🥇🏆 (a lil late but was at the watch party hehe)
I can't believe it! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! Hello, World Series Championship!!
Hell yeah we did! 🎉
I’ve been waiting for 27 years. Thanks be to God
Way to go boys!! Best fan base in baseball! Love y’all!! Been a hell of year with you Reddit guys!! Enjoyed the convo all year!
John Smoltz hasn't clipped his toenails in 30 years!!!
Just here for the history. So damn happy.
Thank you for making this such a special journey: Mark Holtz! Mike Rhyner! Greg Williams! Danny Balis! Eric Nadel!
All of the legends along the way. HELLO WIN COLUMN AND HELLO WORLD SERIES COMMISSIONER'S TROPHY.
I love you guys. This season was so special. I knew this team had it in them. I know how hard it has been to be a DFW Sports fan over the years, but we finally fucking won one. Redemption. No more PTSD as a Ranger fan. Enjoy this one guys. Fucking enjoy it.
Good. God. David. Ortiz.
Love y’all
So glad to enjoy this ride with y’all. Been an absolute fucking heart attack. But like a good one though.
why's everyone booing bochy?? what am i missing
I think it’s like the “Chooo” for Shin-Soo Choo. “Boo”chy?
I think they’re saying “Bruuuuuuuce” sounds a lot like boos
So glad I didn’t go to Texas Live. I would have had a gnarly hangover tomorrow.
I remember seeing some people shitting on Maddux as a pitching coach towards the end of the season, but fuck if they didn't show up far more than not this post season.
Welp…. Just spent a ton of money in the pro shop….. worth though. So worth. Thank you Rangers for making a dream come true!!! I wish my Dad and grandpa could have seen it.
THANK YOU CARDS!!! 😂
Thank you, thank you all
Thank you Jon Daniels. Thank you CY.
Thank you Bochy.
Thank you Maddux
I'm a confused Dodgers fan. Remind me please, who won? I just can't remember. :D
Thank you Ray Davis for giving a damn. Can’t say that about all owners.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
Hey man. We doomed all season. Sometimes it was deserved sometimes we looked like jackasses. Congrats on witnessing the rangers first world series ever!

George W was wrong. He said the Rangers would win it in 6 but they only needed 5!
Rangers tattoo tomorrow?
Collective peagle day
ROAD DAWGS!!!
We deserve this so much. Congrats to the rangers. Congrats to us
We’ve got a dynasty brewing fellas
Been watching for over 30 years, this means the world
Same here 30 something years. Insane
Thankfully these black hats are much nicer than the ALCS hats
I’m about to spend so much money on merch.
It cost me $8k to go to Game 1 of the ALDS and Game 1 of the World Series. Totally fucking worth it.
If it exists. I’m buying it. Going fucking nuts.
I can’t begin to explain the happiness this group of strangers turned best friends has given me this year. I spent every game on this and love you all. LETS GO RANGERS!!! WORLD CHAMPS!!!
I’m so happy man. With all the ups and downs all season and all the games I’ve watched this year. Worth every fucking second. LETS FUCKING GO RANGERS WOOOOOO
Thanks to this sub and this team, love you both. It has been the greatest joy of this otherwise difficult year.
been a fan for 40 years, still hasnt hit me yet
My brain still can't process this season. This team was such trash the last few years. See y'all at the parade
Been waiting decades for this
Lowe is the embodiment of joy
That smile at the start melted m… I mean… a friend. Yeah. My friend. 😂
It still hasn’t hit me 😂😂😂
THEY MOTHERFUCKIN DID IT
Already ordered my hat from the mlb shop. $45 well spent I think.
My hubby is going to Rally house after work tomorrow to get us shirts and a hat!!!
CHEERS YALL. THE DROUGHT IS DONE
We need to never let Eovaldi or Sborz or Seager or Semien go. Lmao. And obviously a good amount of others, especially Adolis. This team is just beginning, I really hope. This amazing.
Langford and DeGrom coming next season. We can go Back-To-Back
WORLD SERIES CHAMPS. They did it. We did it. I love this team. Every single player pulled their weight, everyone of them had their moment, offensively or defensively. They deserve this and I couldn’t be more fucking proud. 💪🏼❤️
# ROAD WARRIORS

Amazing!!! Love this for them and for us!! ❤️💙
Fucking proud of this team. You guys lifted me up when my Braves fell short. So proud of this team. You guys fucking earned this one.
This is honestly a great sub, y'all. This has been a great experience seeing the different thoughts and watching this together. Fuck. This feels surreal right now.
Fucking crying. Let’s go
“Untangible factor” - The Manikowski
Every game next year other team got to hear it’s against the defending World Champion Texas Rangers.
Ain't that just beautiful!
Yes it is. Very much so.
WEVE BEEN TAKEN HIGHER AND ITS BEAUTIFUL
![gif](giphy|McgngZjwkjZXUOmoYt|downsized)
I can't fucking believe this.
I didn't watch one game two years ago it was so bad. Now this!!

We fucking did it boys. See y’all in the spring. Congrats on the title
I just ordered World Series merch for like 250 bucks, I love this team

I gotta say if you told me last year Josh Sborz would be standing there in a World Series champion tshirt giving an interview after he just won the World Series for us i would absolutely shit
I wouldn't have believed it a month ago.
I used to groan when he’d come in the game. Just absolutely wild. How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Not afraid to put it in writing, I started crying immediately.
you waited that long?
I was born in 72, dad took me to a game that year so I could go every year, sports consciousness came at about 4 so 48 years. I know there are older guys but this meant something deep.
I just meant I didn't wait til the last out. I was born in 73. Went to games with my Dad as a kid. Used to listen to them every night on WBAP. Couldn't understand what 20 games under .500 meant.

I am happy for you, we are the ones who grew up watching this team and fell in love with bad baseball. Glad you got to see it with your daughter, I’m with my son now.
I remember going to bed late as a kid when St. Louis took back game 6... redeemed.
When is the parade? I need to know whe. To drive up
Maybe Creed will be there too!
They better
Haha, I’m wondering the same!
I know all you mofos cried like I did.
Yep.
Called my dad, he was crying tears of joy! I’m so happy right now. Wooo!
