Season of Dreams: the 2023 Texas Rangers

[@LinkRocks]

Eric Nadel's "IT'S OVER! IT'S OVER!" call gets me right in the feels. I've been waiting to hear him call the final out of a WS victory all my life.

[@lewislambert4590]

Best thing they did was to allow him to come in call the game.

[@tonychen3628]

Considering that he missed more than half of the regular season with some issues of his own, this is even more special.

[@spacecadet8843]

Wish Tom Grieve had been calling it too

[@Rvmz214.]

Matt Hicks letting him come in and finish the game off was an awesome gesture too!

Thank you TEXAS, been a Ranger fan since 71 my Dad would get free tickets to the old Arlington Satdium pack some lunch and we would go see them lose , Dad passed away a month ago. I told dad that I had a feeling this was their year to win it all, Dad replied over my dead body then I replied that may happen, we both laughed and today Dad your words are so true RANGERS 2023 MLB Champions! RIP DAD LOVE you and the RANGERS .....happy tears!

Oh man. I went thru the same thing in 2010 with the San Francisco Giants. Bochy is the best congrats and im sorry for your loss

Rest in Peace, this is an amazing outcome to the season.

[@gozucritic4546]

My condolences on your loss of your father but I am sure he is celebrating like crazy after hearing you cheer for the Rangers winning the World Series,I'm so glad since I always wanted the Rangers to get a Pennant after the Houston Astros finally got a Pennant. 😊 Also your dad sounds super awesome since he took you to baseball games,wish I could've experienced that but I live in San Antonio,Tx.

[@jesseprather8317]

I remember watching the Rangers when they had Pudge Rodriguez, Rusty Greer and Rick Helling. I wanted them to win so bad and they just got clobbered by the Yankees every year! Then they were terrible for so many seasons until the start of the decade. Finally winning a pennant we were all crushed when they lost 2 World Series in a row. They came so close!! Seeing them finally plant the flag at the top of mountain is just so incredible! A childhood dream come true. WORLD CHAMPION TEXAS RANGERS!! WOOOO!!

I have seen many Rangers games since I was 4 yrs old. I have loved each Rangers team with all my heart over the yrs. To watch our team rise and fall at glory's door multiple times has been painful but this time felt different. They blew me away time and time again. ❤💙 Every single one of these guys are a piece to the puzzle that was needed to win. They all played a part and they all gave it their all. I am so proud of our Texas Rangers 🥲 . To the fellas, I want to say thank yall for replacing those heartbreaking memories with a beautiful and incredible one that we will never forget 💙❤

Never thought that this would be the team to take the Rangers to the promised land, but so glad that I was wrong! Congratulations to the Rangers and Rangers fans everywhere! Especially to Eric Nadel! Thank you for using his call when showing the clinch.

[@91xrp]

For some of us old timers, we remember the old Arlington Stadium days, and a lot of bad baseball. This team and franchise was on the outside looking in for more than a generation, not even close to part of the discussion about real competitive baseball. And then to finally get there in 2010, 2011 with crushed dreams--particularly game 6 with one out and one strike away twice to win it all, and come up short. Last night was unforgettable. Those Nelson Cruz scars of 2011 just got a little easier to bear. Best night of my sports life for a long suffering fan.

[@ZekromAmaterasu]

I hadn't paid attention to baseball in a long time. When I saw the Rangers playing in the playoffs while I was out with my friends, I was super surprised and now here they are as World Champions. I went to the games in Arlington whenever I'd fly out from Cali to visit and I often was able to go to the bunker and get a ball from the team and those were great memories. This was my dad's dream to see them win and I'm so happy he got to see them win. I do wish my mom was still here watching in lerson, but I know she's watching from heaven.

[@joshuapatrick682]

In August of 2003 I went to thre Bronx to watch Roger Clemens pitch against the Seattle Mariners. Since then Ive only been to one MLB game, on May 16th of this year I saw the Rangers beat the Braves. Dunning held them to 1 run (because Acuña is who he is) and it was an awesome time in a relatively boisterous atmosphere because the fans have bought back in! When you put a winning team on the field suddenly the seats start filling back up, unless you’re Tampa Bay for some reason…This team is going to be in the hunt for Shohei, the core is under contract or pre FA for the next 3 years. Players want to go to a winning team with a winning culture so it is only going to get better from here! I truly believe that!

[@bdsjr32]

It's so good to get this championship for everyone who has ever rooted for this franchise. So many fans have passed on without getting to see this moment with their families. I think of my great uncle who was absolutely obsessed with the Rangers, watching every single game in a season, back in the 80's when I was a kid. He's been gone for a long time but I remember him wearing his Rangers hat in the nursing home right before he left this world. This championship was accomplished via a visionary owner, GM, and manager combined with the outstanding efforts of the players, and the support of fans.

[@Longhorns41793]

I'm 30, been a diehard fan my whole life. My dad went to the very 1st home game when the Rangers moved to Texas when he was 19. This still doesn't feel real. I'm never gonna get over this team and this playoff run. We're really World Series champs.

It's been such a long wait through the good and the bad. Now this. I was ballistic as the ball got passed Thomas in the 9th inning and then Semiens Home Run almost pushed me to tears, as I knew this game was just about over. The wait was over. Then the final strike. One that will be remembered forever. The wait was worth it.
