Not a Texan or a fan of the Rangers, but I'm happy for them. I remember the 2011 series too, one strike away, twice. As a long-suffering Minnesota fan I felt like I was watching a Minnesota team. So this series I was rooting for them, glad you got it this time.

Congratulations Texas Rangers from Taiwan! 🎉 My husband has been a dedicated Rangers fan for years, and today he even took a day off from work to be with me in front of the TV, waiting for and celebrating this memorable World Series victory. It's been an unforgettable year of series games, starting from the playoffs when I had to quietly cheer in the middle of the night (so as not to disturb our neighbors), to waking my husband up in excitement after each win! 😂 What stands out the most is the team's resilience and the constant surprises, especially after two outs.

​@@noshjix2163I agree. 2010 felt like a run where we just came up short to a superior team. 2011 felt like we gave it all away when victory was in our grasp. 2010 was disappointing, but 2011 was downright heartbreaking.

[@ronaldcheng1857]

As another Giants fan, I must say Bruce Bochy is a legend.

[@duanebidoux6087]

Long term Astros fan here. Let me congratulate the Rangers. The best team won. I don't hate Rangers or their fans and never will, and am proud that they come from the same division. It's a great feeling, and especially when it's your first. As far as I'm concerned, the AL West has the best two best baseball teams in the country, and regardless of having the division title or not, the best team in the division at this moment is without question the Rangers. Again, congratulations, you earned it, and you deserve it.

[@starsgirlforever]

I’m SOOO glad Eric Nadel came back to the radio broadcast so he could call this historic moment!

[@86OrangeMan1]

Hopefully 105.3 posts the comments he and Sandler made about each other after the game. It was truly heartfelt and had me in tears!

[@joseph6270]

"The Texas Rangers win the world series!!" never thought I would hear those words. Still thriving in it a month later. God blessed texas finally

[@wouldanyoneelseliketobehea7068]

Been a Ranger fan since ‘87. Good series and good game Dbacks. See y’all again next year

[@dustinbarlow1623]

Josh Sborz Dominance in the World Series reminds me when Black Jack Morris would come in absolutely dismantle the Braves anytime he came in, they couldnt do anything with him. Bochy is the greatest Manager of all time now, no questions asked.

[@awo505]

Congrats to the rangers fan, this coming from a braves fan. The rangers winning is actually good for baseball because it shows you that when the team is ready to compete for a championship, as an owner, you will have to invest some extra funds in the team. As an owner, you cannot stay with a close pocket and expect your team to win it all. Congrats Rangers.

[@shakarussanders9911]

Thanks! And thank you for getting Ron Washington a ring a couple years

[@PapaT79]

As a Mariners fan, thanks for saying that. This particular result with these two teams is very ironic, considering how our season ended and the chatter around it. Owners can learn from this, but only if they’re open to doing things differently and truly interested in winning, and not just turning a profit.

[@salarrue78]

I am actually happy for the rangers, after so much heartache from their playoffs woes in the past 6-7 years, they deserve this

Now you Astros fans can't bug us Rangers fans when are we going to win the World Series LOL!! And the trophy just moved a few hundred miles up I-45 (and a little West on I-30 LOL)!!!

[@theflipper404]

@@tony_m_km6mzp Yessir. Even though Rangers and Astros are "rivals". If anyone else is gonna win besides the Astros, I definitely want it to be the Rangers! Congrats man. I think both Astros and Rangers fans knew the ALCS was the real world series lol. At least that actually went to game 7, although kind of hilarious every team's fans in the ALCS went home losers LOL.

[@PaddyMcMe]

Congrats from Australia. Been a Rangers fan for years and years. I expect a lot of us foreigners got into Baseball as a result of Ken Burn's 'Baseball' documentary series. I've got a mate who is a Texan and so it seemed fitting to barrack for the Rangers. Garcia is a monster. Bochy is a genius and the whole team is pure grit.

Nathan Eovaldi is the type of pitcher who can take on the fight and cruise through it, what an amazing mentality!

I worked at Rangers Stadium 40 years ago. They were so bad, that there were usually more fans for the visiting teams. Back then, I remember one time us employees were gathered around listening to a Mavs game on the radio, because they were the ones doing well by making the playoffs for the first time. So it's great to see the Rangers finally take home baseball's biggest prize.

[@Gemnist98]

Great story! I’m just now realizing that the Mavs’ Cinderella run to glory happened the same year as the David Freese heartbreak. Hope you’re doing well, and congrats on your Rangers finally winning it all.

Fun fact...this was 13 years to the day that Bochy and the SF Giants beat the Rangers 4-1 in the 2010 World Series to give the Giants their first WS win since 1954. Great job by both starting pitchers. Been a Rangers fan since '80, still cry/laughing at this win. Great season and postseason by this gutsy Rangers team.

What an absolute rollercoaster of a post season. I'm 31 years old, my first rangers game was when I was 5 . It's safe to say I've been waiting for this moment for my entire life. Not afraid to admit, I genuinely got choked up when they won tonight.

[@perfectsniper09]

Same since I was 11. Now 32. Most of my closest friends now do not watch baseball, but they watched it with me tonight. & I was the only one who knew what was going on, though I was explaining the rules. After the game, my buds & I sat down to have a few beers. That's when I got a little emotional

[@khaikhuc1432]

Congrats to the Rangers from Vietnam. Been a fan since '11, just when the heartbreak happened and things started going downhill. Loved the team, Hammy and Yu to the point I made my mom knit a team scarf back when merch was quite out of reach financially. Went through the horrors that were 2014 and the turn of the decade. And now that my mother is no longer here with me and the knit scarf, watching Texas finally winning it all was just overwhelming. I'm forever grateful. LET'S GO RANGERS!!!! CHAMPS AT LAST!!!!

[@Sportshotrumorsdebates]

as a diehard dbacks fan I want to congratulate Texas. I love some of their guys for years. Plus Bochy is great. On the dbacks side It is bittersweet. I'm so proud of them. No one expected it. But we had Texas 4 of the 5 games. blowing it in the ninth. Running through stop signs. Making errors. And most importantly We hit their guys so much but didn't come through. Texas only had a few good innings but they made it work! They capitalized on their chances. I want to see our hitting coach gone and we need to sign 2 hitters. That will get us to the next part.
