[@jacobkim5033]

A fan from South Korea. Since Chan Ho was pitching in rangers, I was a fan of rangers. Most of Koreans were cheering for Yankees, Pirates, and Padres where Korean players are playing, I never ever lost a hope in Rangers. Happy.. Thank You Rangers, I was not wrong. Edit: thank you all for such warm welcome and kind comments! Now not only fan of Rangers, but also I became a fan of Texas and Texan! Let's enjoy all together! Wish you all the best from Korea! 🇺🇸 🇰🇷

[@jadqn_]

amazing to hear that we have fans in other countries

[@jacobkim5033]

​@jadqn_ thank you for such AWESOME video. Crying at 4am (Korea Time)

[@zr1888]

😭

[@Ba11leFieldAce]

My first rangers game was when I was 5 years old . It's safe to say I've been waiting for this moment my entire life.

[@timdricklamar]

WE’RE CHAMPS JACOB!! WE’RE ALL CHAMPS!!

[@christopherabernathy8003]

The color starting to fade in after Texas clinched their playoff spot and progressively getting more vibrant as we progressed further into the post season was such a wonderful touch.

[@kaymuldoon3575]

I only wish my dad could have lived to have seen this. He was a huge Rangers fan ever since day 1 back in 1972, when they first came to my home town of Arlington. He passed away in April of this year, and I’m hoping he is watching and celebrating from up above. This one is for you, dad. 💙

[@keithulhu]

I feel the same way about my mom, she's been gone 8 years now and watched a lot of baseball. The Rangers and the Braves were her favorite teams. Wherever she is, I know she's pleased as punch.

[@wolfgineer9340]

Similiar story, 2 members of my mom's family passed away early this year, big fans, listened to radio Ranger games for decades. Very emotional for her watching them win knowing they werent here to see it with her.

[@alexblume36]

My Dad is unequivocally the reason I love baseball. So many memories practicing with him. He took me to the 2010 ALCS Game 1 & 6, 2011 ALCS Game 2, 2011 WS Game 4. We saw Michael Young’s 2k hit, Beltre’s 3k, playoff games in 2015 & 2016. He was a Dallas Firefighter. In 2015 he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. I remember him telling me when they lost in 2016 or so “are they ever going to win a World Series before I die?” He passed away in 2019. I’ve never missed him more than when I wished I had someone to talk to about how great Eovaldi was pitching in game 5.

[@AmericanHearts]

Eovaldi was unbelievable. To face a desperate small-ball team and strand them on the bases inning after inning was incredible. And I'm sure your dad had the best seat in the house. All my best to you.

[@moniquelovestr8095]

Same with my dad he died 2 years ago on November 1st, so needless to say them winning the WS on November 1 made this day not quite so sad ..only sad he wasn't here to see it, but he saw it I believe...much love and it feels so good to finally get that one finally..now on to the next one

[@jorgevital8565]

Seeing Leclerc drop to his knees and thank God always gets me 😢what a magical moment to be a Ranger fan

[@OzeeManDias]

I love how this video slowly shifts from grayscale to full color as the Rangers get closer and closer to the light at the end of their tunnel. WS Champs, baby. Never thought I'd see the day.

[@shaq321134]

I'm a Dbacks fan and this still gives me goosebumps. Gotta respect the come up 🏆

[@SocraticMind89]

One hell of a ball club, both of our teams had similar stories, both of us were roads warriors you guys were making comebacks, both of won in the road and forced games 7s u guys scared thr hell out of us the first two games and forced us to play harder, Iknow this hurts for you guys but you have nothing but to be proud of that young team but it almost felt like poetic destiny for our rangers from Creeds Higher anthem during the post season, Gracias historic post season play, Seager playing clutch and winning MVP like he did back in 2020 were the World Series was held in the stadium were he now plays in, bochy coaching this very squad he beat in 2010to know coaching the all star game that coincidentally will be played next year here at Globe Life Park,beating the teams with their respective first letters that spelled ROAD Rays Orioles Astros Dbacks undefeated on the road and erase the back to back heartbreaks of 2010 2011 Hollywood couldn’t have written it any better

[@botelloheritage12]

I gotta say you Dback fans are a classy bunch. Real respect for you guys. You have a good young team y'all will be back.

[@LDQBBQ]

Very well done. Game 6 doesn't sting the way it used to. I'm still in shock that they won. I've seen the clincher hundreds of times at this point and I still can't believe it happened.

[@Soc1alBK]

2011 is now just a loss, it isn’t my heart being shredded anymore. I'm still waiting to wake up and it be a dream. I hope this incredible feeling of baseball bliss never goes away! Ranger fan since 1982

[@VCBird6]

Wish my grandpa could have lived to see this We used to watch Rangers games all the time on those lazy summer days and he talked about how they might be good enough one day Lost him in 2020 Enjoy this one from upstairs, BB ❤

[@nibullengennibu5111]

Afan from France. Congratulations Rangers, I was in front of my TV at 4am. During the last throw, and the victory, I screamed so loudly that I woke up my wife!

[@cademolidor9005]

this season doesn’t feel real the way it played out. everything that happened to us 12 years ago happened again, but this time we were the ones on the winning side. we finally slayed our demons! i’ll never forget this group of guys💙❤️

[@jadqn_]

team of destiny

[@devynlich00]

​@jadqn_ and Bochy said it himself we're going to win it again I'm smelling the start of a dynasty to our once pain fraught franchise

[@thepixalking6589]

100% Not even rhetoric. This season was a complete mirror of the 2011 heartache.

[@raulescobar7433]

Not really, this Rangers won it by hard work, they didn’t win it by the poor play of others, nobody gave them anything, they got it with sweat and blood, got some good records on their way

[@how_nate_rolls4603]

Made my heart hurt to watch this for the first couple minutes. But the last minute…GO RANGERS! Thanks for making this. I’m 52 years old and was born in DC, so my family and I are lifelong Rangers fans. We USED to be Redskins fans. Lol. Thanks for making this video.

[@LinkRocks]

2010 and 2011 doesn't hurt me anymore. I'm happy to have that albatross off my neck.

[@w3tua]

I'm 52 as well and attended my first Rangers game at age 12. My wife surprised me this year with tickets to a game in Arlington where I saw Garcia blast one over the wall. There was a feeling that this team was special!

[@jhenrypp]

I love how the video slowly gains color throughout the whole video. I never really get emotional, but baseball always manages to make me cry. We did it.

[@spacecadet8843]

This season was crazy because we were in first for the longest and then blew it. Get the wild card and then just went crazyyy in playoffs.

[@t22c]

Beautiful! 2011 was heartbreaking. 2015 I thought we were cursed forever. 2023 Sweet Sweet redemption.

[@foxbat1766]

Game 6 of the St. Louis Series, and Game 6 of the Spurs/ Heat 2013 are the worst gut punch losses I've had to endure... But as a fan of the Rangers since their inception, I finally and legitimately heard the words: "The Texas Rangers are the World Series Champions!"

[@dylanclontz2687]

Seeing the rangers lose so much hurt, but finally getting to witness history, the feeling is unlike any other that I could have imagined

[@DyingInPlainSight]

All the heartbreak and choking is over and a new standard is being set in Arlington. Im almost 45 and been a fan since the age of 7. I totally forgot about the drop by Hamilton in Oak. When you see and deal with so much heartbreak, some gets forgotten or just thrown out the window. This was so well done how you made the color slowly creep in as it got to the good part. I don't know if you're a Ranger fan or just someone who put this video together to show appreciation for the Rangers. So, thank you for this. I've seen almost every highlight video and this one is hands down the best. I'm just so happy for my team and the boys and I can finally say my Texas Rangers are World Series Champs 🏆🎉 #WentAndTookIt #Finally #TRFL Edit : After subing to your channel, I see you are a Ranger Fan. So, we share the same excitement and relief after all the disappointment.

[@jlow532]

Rangers fan since 1996. Arlington, TX. Rangers go go all the way.

[@kingjonathan7773]

40 years old, and my first rangers game was in 93. Went through many tough years. 90s when the Yankees would take us out, the 2000s and my favorite player Beltre, and now finally a world series! Never thought I'd see it.

[@LinkRocks]

I've been watching since 1985 and you could make a 10 hour video of all the heartbreak and disappointment from this franchise. It feels so good to finally be the team that never got eliminated. Flags fly forever.

[@TexanFonzie]

I grew up a rangers fan. I watched both World Series losses. As someone who has waited so long for this moment (almost 50 years) I am not ashamed to admit that I cried watching this video

[@MuzikLova62]

This gave me chills to remember all those games lost at the end and then this year……🎉🍾😮‍💨🥲

[@dannadcrick7144]

I wish my dear dad was here to see this. Been waiting 52 years for my Texas Rangers to win it all. Way to go Rangers!!!🎉

[@rubenmorales5830]

Im a Yankee Fanatic and very very Happy For the Ranger Organization! I live in The DFW area and remember when my Mother would go and see the Rangers play. It broke my heart to see this transpire and wished my Mother could be here to see them win it all. Go Rangers

[@robertandsarahjones9347]

That was heartbreaking and amazing at the same time definitely has me a little choked up😢😂MY TEAM MY TOWN MY RANGERS 😎

[@AmericanHearts]

The way the color fades in during this playoff run. Thanks. It feels real now.

[@AceMiggy]

This is what I needed to see for reality to hit. We’re really world champions 😭😭😭😭

[@ILoveMisty1985]

I think the inclusion of some of the Rangers' frustration in the late 90s against the Yankees could have further illustrated the longstanding frustrations of Rangers fans, but I love the use of color and the use of the Moneyball theme. Thanks for this tribute video.

[@diannekelley3197]

A fan since 1972, tears of disappointment turned to tears of joy this year!

[@simpson6404]

Thank you so much for making this video. I can finally watch the David Freese play and not get angry.

[@okyjoe]

I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video. The grey to color almost gets me emotional because that was truly how my friends and I watched the playoffs... little to no optimism then as we kept winning we all started to just hope again.

[@cpjosh8226]

I remember all the sad days. Those days don't hurt anymore. We are the champions

[@davidmcaninch4714]

I still can’t believe it, and I’m even wearing the World Series shirt I bought the day after the last game!!!!

[@boppo16]

As a Rangers fan, I recognize how incredible and ridiculous it was that a team with (previously) no rings had such a long list of horrible, almost curse-like moments throughout its entire history. You’d expect it with franchises such as the Red Sox or Cubs, but they all eventually got the job done. The Rangers hadn’t, until November 1st. Over six decades of suffering vanquished in an instant. I love this team.

[@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.

[@RichardRodriguez-pj5ks]

I remember my father taking me to my first game and I fell in love with the game. I remember all of this heart break and how I never could imagine what it would be like to finally win. I’m blessed that in the year 2023 I got to finally found out with my father the same man who sacrificed everything for me to play ball the same man that made me fall in love with the game. In 2023 my 2 year old and 5 year old finally got to witness history along side my father.

[@tchrist1055]

The fact that most of the rangers playoff woes were because of defensive plays makes the championship that much more special since we won it because of our defense. I fucking love the rangers.

[@welcome_to_the_own_zone]

Man, that song choice and the perfect editing. Thanks. Legit crying.

[@thepixalking6589]

That's my heart....... broken.... for a decade, but really going on 50 years. Then... somehow, redemption. Sigh They did it... finally. Thank you God. Thank you. That shot of Nolan in 2011 CRUSHES me. I'm a Nolan>Daniels guy. I thought we'd be cursed with the Nolan debacle for 100 years. Thanks Chris young and Ranjurs (if you get it, you get it)!!!!

[@Selrahc_69]

How the hell did I just tear up watching this? I'm sure it was the emotional ride it took me on and then finished with the WS win. I've been there for all of it and now went through it again in just over 4 minutes. Well done, jadqn - well done!

[@W.TX806]

All of the "heartbreak" moments I watched with my Dad. He died a year ago. Getting the final strike this year meant a lot to me.

[@NBK1122]

For years, the Texas Rangers were always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Congratulations on finally being the bride, from a Yankees fan.

[@sonofvirginia]

Great video. I'm not from Texas. But have been a Rangers fan since the early 90's when I was a young kid (thanks to Nolan Ryan). From the futility of the 90's (especially late 90's, thanks Yankees), to the heartbreak of 2010 and especially 2011, to now..... So worth it. Thanks man.

[@Irisrodriguez2013]

So after that game in 2011 WS I never watched those highlights I never did I couldn’t . And I still can’t. This World Series win means everything. But idk it doesn’t take all that pain away. I did not plan on watching this I stuck through it what an emotional video. Just cried a lot of tears and then they turned to happy tears. So proud of this team and of that team in 2010 & 2011. This is for them and for us . Congratulations Texas Rangers !!

[@w3tua]

The first World Series appearance was a thrill that we made it that far for the first time while the second one was absolutely devastating for us diehard fans. I've never been so happy as this year's win!

[@chimoz4238]

Beautiful video! From all the heartbreaks to finally say our Texas Rangers are World Champions is amazing and still doesn’t feel real. The Eric Nadel call still gets me every time 🥹

[@paulcelestine82]

Been a fan since I was 6. 41 now. All the suffering we have endured has finally been redeemed!!!

[@brettbrooks5511]

Game 1 was truly the cleanse of the pain from 2011 game 6. Same night, same location* (different stadium but still). 2 runs to tie it in the 9th. Walk off solo in the 11th for the win. Garcia breaking Freese's RBI record. Garcia making the catch Hamilton should have made in 2011. While 4 more games still needed to be played, that game 1 performance really proved that this Rangers team was built to win it. 2011 still hurts but not as much anymore

[@shizuki2607]

watching this makes me cry i’ve been a ranger fan for over 15 years and seeing them win their first world series means so much they need to show this at the opening game I feel like the crowd would be so emotional watching this

[@EricWBurton]

I just want to say that this video was just perfect. The mixing of the music and sound of the game, the way you slowly add the color in when things start going the Rangers' way, the complete arc being told starting in 2010...just masterful. Perhaps the best baseball video I have ever seen, I absolutely love it. Very moving, going from lows to highs (and what highs!) like that really forms the Texas Rangers fans' point of view. It's beautiful! They really owned it and were so impressive down the stretch. I should say that I am a Giants fan, but damn I love baseball enough that I can be moved by some other team's joy! I am so happy for Bochy too :)

[@romanfromtexas94]

I'll never not get emotional about the past heartbreaks. And I love that the video started in black and white and slowly the color came in throughout the video

[@openeyz]

Been a fan since 1998. Let's GO RANGERS!!!!

[@ariazuniga7193]

I hadn't watched any Game 6 footage until this video. Suddenly it doesn't hurt so much now that we finally have a title. I keep watching the replay of the Game 1 walkoff and the final strike in Game 5 to make sure it's all real. My heart still races in excitement every time.

[@nickvoivoda4327]

As a Nats fan I experienced the same thing in 2019; years of failure finally culminating in our first ring. Cherish it.

[@BossManSays]

Well done sir. Shedding tears of happiness and washing years of heartache slowly fade away. Thank you. My dad who is an original fan loved it.

[@lucky_cyclones1048]

As a lifelong Rangers fan, tears were coming down my face 😢 a joyous, emotional, and a sweet sigh of relief winning the World Series ⚾️ All of us Rangers fans have seen the Ups, and all of us have seen the Downs, but this one right here is something we all shall never forget! And especially taking Houston down as well

[@swank1957]

First couple minutes brings tears of nostalgia and heartbreak, final minutes brings tears of joy and fulfillment

[@teebee2288]

Man, forgot how much this hurt until I saw 10-11 highlights again. Just a healed scar now. WORLD CHAMP RANGERS!!!!

[@buddybonner9783]

That damn St Louis game 6 nearly stole their soul…thank goodness they were redeemed this year

[@Triple521]

I’m not even a rangers fan and I got the chills

[@KR-1zero]

Homie, this is absolutely fantastic!!!!

[@michael.h.m]

Shamelessly cried watching this. Our boys are champions.

[@JohnWickPotter]

This team I can say EVERY MEMBER played a crucial part in doesn’t matter if it was only a few games or the entire playoffs they all put in the work & were crucial pieces to the end goal.

[@omalleycaboose5937]

Exactly, Duran who fell off, stepped up when we didn't have Seager, Brad Miller from the bench was a great mentor, everyone was important, Will Smith, by the end he couldn't do anything but for the first half he was best reliever

This is amazing! Love how you put the lows and then the highs together. Great job, as a long-time Rangers fan, I could watch this forever!

[@thebionicbuchanan271]

As a Nationals fan I know how it feels to win the World Series

[@channingbloom7125]

Been a fan since I was 9 years old. Up until October 2023 I felt that we were cursed and never going to win. And I believed it. When you loose and choke so much, you start to believe that winning is only a dream and nothing more. After the 2022 season I thought “so this is what it was like to be a cubs fan” just just sucking and never winning. Then October 2023 hit and I was like oh we are winning that’s fine we are going to lose like usual. Then we won the alds. “Woah we are like pretty good right now. Still going to loose to the much better and more experienced astors. Had a good season regardless.” Then we won the alcs and I started to believe again. “We are going to the World Series? Is this real.” Then we went up 3-1 and I remembered how the cubs came back from a 3-1 deficit and I had very small part of me thought that we were going to blow that too. Because we always do. Then we won. My god when we won I felt confusion and extreme happiness, all at the same time. “WE WON!!! IS THIS WHAT WINNING FEELS LIKE!! WE FINALLY WON!! WE ARE NO LONGER FAILURES” Thank you rangers for making feel happy to be a rangers fan again. May we win many more in the future. God bless the rangers.

[@coruscant100]

It's always amazing and a joy to see a team that came so close and collapsed ultimately rise from the ashes and win it all.

[@josephparrii6646]

Thanks for putting this together...still get emotional when i see the final pitch for the final out...

[@mastodon98]

Congratulations Rangers and fans

[@Ramblinrabbit24]

The day of the game I picked my daughter up from school, she’s in first grade and told her that the rangers have a chance to win tonight and she asked what’ll I do if they won and I said I’ll be super happy and might cry. I cried a few hours later. One of the happiest days of my life.

[@mattdrake5869]

Thank you for this video. It made me do what I've done since they Rangers won, cry. This was only the second time I've seen the video of Nelly missing the catch. It doesn't sting like it used too. From the absolute lowes, to the absolute highs, what a great video. We are no longer a laughing stock. We are CHAMPIONS!

[@johnsanroman9861]

For as long as I can remember, at least since I was 4, 2001, as a Rangers fan it was always heartbreaking to see the ups and downs and coming so close and having nothing to really show. I love my Rangers and always will even if they don’t win another title

[@smilingfool1983]

I’m 40 now and 2023 was amazing time in my life it feel like a Dream it started off by the time the baseball season started in April I got married to my best friend. Went on the amazing adventures to Maui for my honeymoon and Alaska for my 40th birthday. And I thought that would’ve been it. But it wasn’t six months later I got to see my taxes Rangers winning the World Series, going to the stadium and watch it live at the watch party with dad was priceless. This year was a dream that come true more than I ever thought.

[@YoBoychezzy]

I’m so happy for my rangers.

[@SocraticMind89]

My friends dad passed away last year on Nov 1 and him and his pops would go to rangers games throughout the years as his dad got older and as sickness fell upon him he took his pops to out to games to escape his sickness and this year on his 1 year anniversary of his passing the Rangers Won! 😭😇

[@SGED392]

The more we go through to get something the sweeter it is ..!!

[@brotherpanda3626]

About damn time. Been chasing that final out for twelve years.

[@thisguy8106]

I've been so pumped for Ranger fans. I was a Senior in high school when I watched my beloved Red Sox finally topple the Yankees after being when 3 games to 0. Then going on to win the WS. Almost 20 years later, and I still vividly remember the feeling. I'm happy that Ranger fans can finally feel it, too!!

[@diyamond]

so so so heartwarming to see them finally get a well deserved win. wish i could've seen this one live.

[@levilively8643]

36 year old man over here crying my eyes out. Never thought id see the rangers win it all in my life!

[@JacobASmith59]

This is the PERFECT music. Nice video. GO RANGERS

[@Baby_Yoda_Fan2311]

As a Rangers fan since I was 2 years old this gave me chills.

[@cherylrielly5175]

I only wish my late husband was here to see this!❤️⚾️💙

[@brettpowell3659]

And to think, there were so many times even in the 2023 season that we thought it was all over

[@rseg2707]

Thank you rangers. Been waiting 39 years.

[@collinemorris]

This is just so in the feels. I hope the boys understand what they have done for so many us. Those of us in the past, still living, we’ve waited for this. And I am just so thankful they did it. I really hope they understand wha this meant for so may of us.

[@darioguerrero2580]

I watched the 2010 and 2011 World Series and it was PAIN when they lost those games, and especially when Nelson Cruz dropped that fly ball and that should've been game over since they were 1 win away from winning that year. I'm pretty sure all of us still hate Jose Bautista when he did that bat flip. Also, I was really glad when the Rangers got redemption against the Astros despite getting walloped during the season. Finally the 3rd time was the charm and they won it all.

[@mor.6860]

I remember each one of those heartbreaking losses. But this is so sweet to relish in. You can’t erase the the past, but you can have a brighter future. Bochy made a difference, he is the reason for this feeling. He changed the mindset.

[@bliztix2]

This was the first time I have seen any clips of 2011 game 6, I blocked out everything from my memory except the heartbreak from that game

[@amberwaeltz234]

How many of us saw this happening when they were in a downward spiral in the month of August, or when they lost the division on the last day of the season and had the hardest postseason path in front of them? This team went through the highest of highs and lowest of lows, grinded through the top teams in the AL, and never gave up on themselves. They truly believed they could do it, and they manifested that into reality. When they started breaking records, especially Garcia breaking David Freese's RBI record, it felt like destiny. This was a team of destiny. They finally did it y'all. 🙏

[@roelferrales9769]

I was born on opening day of the 1995 season. Watched from the stands in Arlington since 1998. I've waited way too long to see this finally happen

[@miguelsanchez2662]

Congrats Rangers was rooting for them in 2011 as a dodgers fan. Glad they got it done this year!

[@84jdgregory]

It reminds me of how the Mavs won their championship. Nobody believed. Yet they were warriors. They didn't just win. They dominated. Pure champions!

[@josephbradley9778]

Beautiful. Ironically I was in the middle of making a video just like this with the exact same soundtrack

[@NYM27]

I was in Dallas and watched that game against St. Louis 💔 but Rangers finally did it, congrats 🥳🎉

[@JohnWickPotter]

Damn this had me crying of sadness then so much joy.

[@joshtobin5715]

Please NEVER delete this!!!!

[@conneroquinn7766]

That game 6 in 2011 still stings so much.

[@mindsetmotivation9124]

The editing you did was excellent. From the dark to the light.

[@MikeAnnarose]

I've been a fan from Houston for 30 years. If we are home and a game is on it is on a TV somewhere in my house. So many highs and lows with this franchise but nothing felt better than standing and holding my 6 month old surrounded by fellow fans basking in elation at the parade yesterday. It will be a moment I will never forget.
