2023 Texas Rangers World Series Recap

(SPOILER ALERT)
Follow the five-game journey to the Texas Rangers' first-ever World Championship.

[@luke5r1999]

“TEXAS ON THE VERGE!” Gives me chills every time. What a year. Go Rangers!

[@Owenthebaseballguy]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@johngooszen8875]

Time froze for a second when Joe Davis said that live

[@dwightsmith2918]

"It's over! It's over! Rangers fans, you're not dreaming!"

[@junked5214]

That and "The legend grows, Adolis Garcia" still give me chills

[@2jsalomon]

Incredible. "What a team. What a ride." -if anyone gets that one...then you have suffered with us all the way. What a journey. And they could be even stronger next year. Just stoked!

[@kingkillmonger74]

I cried my eyes out after Game 7 in 2011. It haunted me until the Final out of Game 5 of this year. I cried then too, but for a totally different reason. I’ve waited 34 years to hear my Rangers be called World Series Champions!

[@M4sterT3ch]

I remember that phrase all too well. Now we can erase all of it!

[@mattianshatterly4247]

That painful 2011 World Series loss is nothing more than just a memory since Texas won it all in 2023.

[@mattm2948]

I love those Texas Rangers! That's better than a Cowboy's Superbowl, to me anyway.

[@eureka0521]

I'm still in awe since we won, I can't stop watching the playoff run back again. Thank you Rangers!

[@user-rg5uz6nn2z]

Same I could watch game 5 all day long

[@godschild4988]

Me Too 😁👏😁👏😁👏

[@kiana685]

I keep watching replays yet it still doesn’t feel real. Like the Rangers would never make it happen in my lifetime. So proud of this bunch!

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

Me too!!

[@elijerrr]

Who else is ready to roll it back and do it all again?? Let’s go Rangers!

[@edsonvillasenor4837]

"Texas on the verge." Right then, its when it hit me. This was ours. Let's go Rangers!!!

[@LieslHuddleston]

This needs to play on the screens at Globe Life before every game next year :) It does not matter how many times I watch these compilations and mash-ups, I am in awe of what these guys did over and over again. It's like a storybook or movie, you just could not have scripted it any better than how it actually played out. Especially Game 1 and the last 2. I don't think it will ever, ever get old. I've been in a perpetual good mood ever since! :D

[@LieslHuddleston]

Merrill Kelly! The only one of the Diamondbacks that held us down LOL What a performance from him, I can give him props for that. Montgomery was SO good in game 2 and we just couldn't do it for him against Kelly. I love Jankowski, so glad he got his time in the World Series. I miss the game and can't wait for next year!

[@justincardamone6210]

As a Braves fan I’m happy for you Ranger fans you guys earned it congrats Texas Rangers Great season Guys

[@LieslHuddleston]

It was a really great season, with all the highs and all the lows. Let's have a Braves vs. Rangers in the World Series next year, shall we!?

[@Jesus-is-my-saivor2477]

@@LieslHuddlestonI hope we shall 😊

[@justincardamone6210]

You got a deal

[@GoshDarnBarnOwls]

Let's hope next year it's the Braves vs Rangers in the World Series. I was kinda hoping it would end up that way because we proved we could beat Astros in the Post Season but was wanting to prove it against the Braves as they dominated the Rangers during the regular season and I wanted a rematch on the big stage!

[@devynlich00]

​@@LieslHuddlestondo you even think that might be possible anymore given at what the hell has happened with the Dodgers

[@dwightsmith2918]

I don't think these videos will ever get old. Go Rangers!

[@dmc12destroyer57]

I’m going to college in Tampa, and it has been a blast to watch every single broadcast, plus going to game 1 of the Wild Card and coming home to see game 4 of the ALCS. This is what I have been waiting for since I was 7 years old!

[@earlpabalate750]

They took care of business and made us fans proud to finally have a championship team. Thank you Texas Rangers!!!

[@charmie8083]

I still can not believe it. Texas Rangers the Champs! So proud of them. The way they played they had to win it. I’m still in baseball mode. Cannot get passed this amazing World Series!!!

[@joshuapatrick682]

The Texas Rangers are World Series Champions, and we are all here for it! The future of the team looks bright but I want to say thanks to all those who contributed who for whatever reason won't be here next year. That said there is a substantial core of players that will get to defend the title, both position players and pitchers. I am excited for the future y'all!

[@frankny4947]

I'm New Yok baseball fan and saw The Mets and The Yankees play at Their Stadiums as a kid in the 60s. I remember crystal clear when The Mets finally won in '69. And then in '86. NY went nuts. And The Yankees in the 70s and 90s. But I really want to see every great team that never won a World Series in my life time finally win it all.. I was so glad when the Red Sox, and then The Cubs finally won it all. And now The Rangers. They had some kick ass teams for decades and now they won The World Series. What a thrill. For them and for me. I might really be a Met and Yankee fan. But I'm a baseball fan even more..GO RANGERS...I hope nobody here in NY heard me say this. Because It's illegal to say something like this here. You could go to jail I think. frankny65yroldwhitekid

[@keithhopson992]

Man…tearing up just watching those amazing highlights. Stellar defense, clutch hitting, unbelievable starting pitching and relief pitching. Bochy was unstoppable with game time managing. I love me some Rangers! Congratulations boys you DID IT!!!!!

[@mattianshatterly4247]

Let’s go Rangers!!! #WentAndTookIt. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 3rd times the charm. World Series Champs.

[@HawkDude22]

I’m going to come back to this to bask in my glory of the rangers finally winning the World Series.

[@dr4gonrrr]

Ive waited for 19 years so celebrate something so amazing, the 2011 ghost can finally rest

[@Doncr4nk]

Great video admin. Thanks again to the boys for giving Rangers fans everywhere the greatest sports moments of our lives.

[@jackcross8616]

Besides the stupid lightning overlay they are so obsessed with

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

This series really seemed like the opposite of the Rangers 2010 run against the Bochy led Giants. Everything just seemed to fall into place at the exact right time. Rookies and veterans mixing perfectly.

[@DontDrinkthatstuff]

Yeah. That said, when the BP started playing solid, everyone saw how good this TX team was. The BP prevented the Rangers from winning 100+ games.

[@jaysrandomnesschannel]

This gave me goosebumps all over again.😊

[@WhereIsHeist]

Forever immortalized. What an amazing October!

[@anobsessedrangersfan_21]

already can’t wait for February-March until next season starts!! GO RANGERS!!!!! Oh and I was at game 4 throwing out the first pitch!! Great game!

[@AtlasLytle]

My favorite call in this series was Nadal on the radio, who said "Rangers fans, you are not dreaming!" That brought the most tears out of me knowing that a team you fell in love with could get their first title. Now the crosshairs are on us for the first time, and it's time to show we deserve to be considered a threat in baseball.

[@joshuapatrick682]

Went and Took it to Gotta Keep It!!!! first back to back Champs since....2000?!? it's not gonna be easy but something tells me these boys aren't done yet!

[@BSand7775]

Sborzy's glove throw gets me every time. What a ride. #WentAndTookIt

[@anzi614]

As a Nats fan, my favorite 2 teams in PS history is 2019 Nationals & 2023 Rangers. Both teams have shown team spirit's greatness, romantic moments and goosebumps:) I sincerely cheered for Rangers' bringing their first franchise WS trophy cuz I know that feeling very well. And Mad Max was there, too:) Congrats to Texas!!

The Rangers & Nationals are sister organizations. Only two teams to beat Houston in a series by going 4-0 @ minute maid.

NADEL: "Sborz kicks and fires.... He struck him out looking! It's over, it's over! The Rangers have won the World Series! Ranger fans, you're not dreaming! The Rangers are the World Series champions! After 52 years in Texas, 63 years of the franchise, the wait is over! And the celebration has begun!" HICKS: "Straight up 8:00 o'clock in the Mountain Standard Time Zone, 11:00 o'clock on the East Coast, 10:00 o'clock back home in Texas! Josh Sborz wraps it up, and the Rangers are your World Series champions, can you believe it! Wow!" NADEL: "May the ghosts of 2011 be forever erased!"

[@kendrickkennedy7354]

I remember like it was yesterday back in 2011 when we was down to our last strike to win our first world series and we couldn't get it done I remember the year before that when we face the San Francisco Giants we was up in the series and let them come back and take the series and win the championship and I think Bruce bocce was coaching at that time too last time we been to the world series was in 2011 over 12 years ago last time we been in the postseason was 2015 and we got beat by the Toronto Blue Jays I think in the wild card if I ain't too mistaken or was a division series one or two to finally putting the team together finally making it to the postseason and just go on a 11 and 0 run as a road warrior come on now we made history we made history man I'm still dreaming I feel like I can't wake up from this dream that we have one cuz the world series man I'm glad I call myself a Texas ranger fan I've been through been riding with this team through the ups and downs through it all man hey thank you for the memories and I can't wait to see us win more

[@jamieholt6726]

“And the legend grows!!” What a call!

[@scot60]

To me Travis Jankowski, Jon Gray and Sborz are unsung heroes of the World Series. Well done gentleman.

[@mattgilbert5850]

Don't forget Andrew Heaney. He pitched some crucial innings for us in the postseason.

[@juanbarrietos5988]

I was at the old stadium when Cole hammels was pitching, we lost badly. This is what I've waiting for.

[@bluecrayon007]

Can we be honest. The Rangers won the WS once they beat the Astros in game 7. No one was stopping them after that series

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

I keep watching all these videos loaded and I will until the new season starts and the Rangers go out and defend their championship! And when Marcus hit his shot Sewald just ducked his head he knew it was gone off the crack of the bat

I think the only downside to this video is the framing of the video itself. I understand the format being usable across platforms, but this on KZbin should be the full 16:9 ratio.

how do the rangers sign shohei, hader, monty, and another top tier talent? realistic or an impossible dream? a few things to consider before laughing this off. first, there's no cap in baseball, only luxury tax. also the rangers would sell out every game as they just won their first world series in franchise history. that doesn't include revenue in shohei merchandise. they would literally make their money back in ticket sales and jersey sales in year one. lastly, if they offered a two year contract to all 3 players they could not only go after ohtani, hader, and monty, but another top tier talent next year. dodgers and red sox don't have a retractable roof which would shorten ohtani's his career as a two way. i hate to break it to the big spenders but when it comes to being the greatest baseball player of all time, money alone isn't going to convince the face of baseball to join ur team. winning means everything. he's done chasing the biggest bag. l.a. and boston have state taxes so all of this factors into his decision. just from a common sense perspective it makes sense that the rangers are the favorites to land shohei. wyatt langford, who is being compared to mike trout, was just called up by the rangers. the rangers had 5 all-star starters last year. and w wyatt langford added to the mix, u are basically looking at potentially 8 or 9 all-star starters next season with the best pitching rotation in baseball when degrom comes back. it just doesn't make sense for any other team to be the favorites to land him. if he only signed two years he would still be making the same per year if he signed with the dodgers or the giants who would offer him a long term deal in the elements of unpredictable weather. but by the end of the two years ray davis would have so much money in revenue and ticket sales that they would not only be able to match a long term offer but dare i say be able to offer more. Reasons why Shohei Ohtani "will" sign with Texas: 1: no state taxes 2: defending world series champions 3: retractable roof 4: influx of elite youth talent built for years of success in the future 5: great numbers at globe life field 6: Chris Young is the best GM in baseball/Princeton graduate/former player (pitcher) 7: Bruce Bochy is the best Manager in baseball/future hall of famer/4 rings (most recently last year) 8: only team in MLB history to go 11-0 on the road in the post season 9: Ray Davis is not afraid to open his wallet (he can't take his money with him only his legacy and lets face it he's in his twilight) 10: Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, Nathan Eovaldi, Jordan Montgomery, and possibly Clayton Kershaw will be our rotation next year. 11: Josh Hader according to the rumor mill has mutual interest in the Rangers 12: He would bat clean up behind Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, and Adolis Garcia 13: He would immediately become the face of a franchise who is in dynasty mode. 14: how many All-Star starters did Texas have last year? 15: Chris Young is a high character guy who seeks out high character players. Shohei is very much a high character guy. class recognizes class. 16: Shohei has already said that he appreciated how the rangers sought him out before coming to the league. 17: opposing pitchers won't be able to pitch around him because of who would bat in front of him which means more home runs. 18: Yu Darvish loved playing in texas and most likely had conversations about it with Shohei 19: the fan base. we are loyal. I waited my entire life for a ring. went to games for 40 years win or lose. 20: last years world series had one of the worst ratings ever. there were zero story lines. other than the home fans who would watch regardless, what were the intriguing story lines that would pull in the league fans? there were none. hell, baseball needs a villain. astros are getting old. the yankees have a diminished brand. the dodgers don't win in october. where's the villain? there is none. the texas rangers shelling out a gazillion dollars for a gazillion stars would be exactly what baseball needs. shohei to texas? let's roll!!! if shohei is afraid of getting injured he will definitely go after a long term deal in which case the front office will have to offer him a minimum of 400 million for 10 years. but do i have doubts that if that happens the rangers will take their hat out of the ring? absolutely not. chris young is way too smart not to let the opportunity of signing the goat pass by. with that said, do i think shohei will consider other teams? well if it was before the rangers won the world series then sure, but i 100% guarantee his mind is made up. u can call me mystic mac cus i predict these things. corey seager had tommy john too. hell half the league has had tommy john. but ur saying the greatest player do ever play the game. the dude is a cash cow investment in revenue alone not just ticket sales. japan will be paying the rangers to televise every single game. and any team who doesn't have a retractable roof that is going to bid on him doesn't stand a chance. every person in japan will be wearing rangers jersey's. he's 29 years old. he's in his prime. and he's the elite of the elite. his body will heal. and he's way too much of a competitor so he will pitch again. so when degrom comes back and he comes back dear lord god in heaven and earth. w rumblings of kershaw coming to his hometown. monty, eovaldi, scherzer. heany, dunning, and gray will hold it together until degrom and shohei are ready so if it sounds premature to say "i know where he's going", just means other mlb homers for other teams are delusional. why would a two way player who has had two arm surgeries want to play outdoors for the rest of his career?
