The Texas Rangers Win the World Series

Updated Nov. 1, 2023 11:28 pm ETPHOENIX—The Texas Rangers announced their intentions on Dec. 1, 2021, less than two months after the conclusion of a disastrous 102-loss season that left the team reeling. On a sun-soaked afternoon on the concourse of their glistening new stadium, the Rangers welcomed Corey Seager and Marcus Semien, the star middle infielders meant to serve as the pillars of an organization reborn.The Rangers committed half a billion dollars to lure Seager and Semien to Texas, and the massive investment sent a resounding signal to the rest of the baseball world: The Rangers, a middling franchise with little to celebrate in the six decades of its mostly unremarkable existence, had entered a new era.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

The Snow Business Won’t Become the No Business

The Texas Rangers Finally Have a Chance to Wake Up From a Nightmare

HOUSTON—Twelve years after one of the most devastating losses in baseball history, the heartbreak of the 2011 World Series still looms over the Texas Rangers. On two separate occasions in Game 6—in the ninth inning and then again in the 10th—the Rangers needed just one more strike to claim a championship over the St. Louis Cardinals. Both times, they blew the lead, punctuated by David Freese’s legendary walk-off home run that destroyed a generation of Rangers fans.“For a couple of years after that I would probably have a moment every day where I would think about it,” said Michael Young, the Rangers’ all-time hits leader and a key member of that 2011 squad. “If that ball goes off the end of his bat instead of smack dab on the barrel, this whole thing is different.”Copyright ©2023 Dow Jone...
