PHOENIX -- The Texas Rangers spent seven months of this season terrorizing opponents with a menacing offense that feasted on home runs and hardly ever let up.

And might I add, the only MLB franchise without an “Aren’t Drag Queens Wonderful?” night.

Thanks to Jacob deGrom, who stipulated that the Rangers could not have Pride Night, while he’s with the team.

On September 21, 1971, American League owners voted 10-2 to allow the Washington Senators to move to Texas for the 1972 season.

Last two MLB Champions, The Astros and The Rangers.

No reason to think both teams won’t be right up there again next season.

“ Thanks to Jacob deGrom, who stipulated that the Rangers could not have Pride Night, while he’s with the team.”

Is that true?

Can’t wait to see the ratings for this, it will probably be a record low.

Frank Howard hit the first home run in their history.

Tonight, he’s looking down and smiling.

But we don’t care. They missed out.

Even before DeGrom joined the team (which was this year), the Rangers were the only team remaining in MLB that didn’t have Queer night.

Actually the Rangers-Astros series had good ratings. I think both teams will gain a bigger national following, because it’s now one of the best rivalries in the league.

It was low. I spoke w my friend in Dallas today- no idea

I’ve been watching post season baseball my whole adult life. Transplanted Yankees fan. Not paying for â sports channel. I’m a girl. Forget it

This was som of the best just straight excellent baseball I’ve ever seen. No drama. Nonthugs. No egos. The mvp is tge 3 or 4th to get mvp twice in World Series play. He’s with Reggie and Pete rose

These guys list a couple of their best players to injury last week. Tge powered through no problem

A sleeper of a great series IMo

The Phillies really blew it, they were the better team. The D-Backs weren't worthy of contending with the AL champs.
