After more than five decades since moving to Arlington in 1972, the Texas Rangers have finally won their first World Series championship.
Up 3-1 with a chance to close out the series on the road, Texas beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0 in Game to clinch the World Series 4-1. The Rangers extended their MLB postseason record of going 11-0 on the road in a single postseason.
Texas made the World Series in consecutive years in 2010 and 2011, but just couldn’t get the job done. The Rangers in 2011 were one strike away (twice) from beating the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 6 but went on to lose that and Game 7.
