Go Rangers, what a season! Should be some exciting baseball for Rangers fans these next few years. I was looking forward to going to game 6, but I guess the parade will do.
I just can’t believe it. It is surreal. I mean NO ONE thought this would happen, even the team itself.
I wouldn’t go that far. They were a surprise to most people, sure, but they clearly thought they could win. They paid huge money to get Seager, Semien, and deGrom, they hired Bochy out of retirement, and they made in-season trades for Scherzer, Montgomery, and Chapman. Those moves were very clearly made to win now.
Rule changes, exorbitantly high salaries, and a generation without the ability to sit quietly for nine innings has killed America’s pastime. Fortunately, there is Valbymania!
Happy for the Rangers and their fans. I went to one game at the old ballpark (Globe Life Park) when I was there on business a few years ago. The fans were incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Similar to Orioles fans actually. There was no arrogance or hatred towards the other team/players. Totally opposite of American football fans tbh.
