For the Ranger fans who were here in 2010-2011

FOR WARHAWK

Where is ScubaBlake? I was a season ticket holder 2009-2015. Loving this.

Wish we had won in 2011 so my grandpa could have witnessed it but my godfather/uncle (grandpas son) got to witness this tonight battling stage 4 throat cancer so thats pretty awesome

Amen. I became a Rangers fan because my grandfather took me to Rangers games when I was a kid back in the late 80s/early 90s. In 2010 when the Rangers made the World Series I bought tickets for us and took him to game 5. Despite watching the Giants celebrate the Series win that night, it was special just being there with him and will always be a cherished memory. Now, in his late 80s and early stage Alzheimers, he finally got to see them win it. I can't tell you how much I wish I was in his living room watching it on TV with him instead of halfway across the country, but knowing he got to see the Rangers win the World Series in his lifetime is something Ill forever be thankful for.

I took my son to his 1st game in Arlington in 2003.
Sat in the heat and ate hot dogs. He was 3.
Went to tons of games together since we lived 10 min from the stadium.

Last night we cried and giggled on the couch together. He came over just to watch them clinch.

Go Rangers

Where is Quidam? I don't know if he's happy or sad that we won.

Same. My grandpa lived in sticks north of Longview, Texas. I'd spend a lot of the summer up there and we would attend games. We were in the cheapest/highest seats possible but we were there

To me, THIS is the love of baseball.

WarhawkTiger6 was one of my best friends in real life and the reason I started posting here. We were always 2 rangers fans lost in a sea of Astros around here

My dad is a life long Cardinals fan who was 80 in 2011. We watched all of those games together. Losing the series was a big gut punch for me, but least I got to see him happy when St. Louis won.

This year we watched all of the playoff games together except for the one game the D'Backs won. During the Astros series he got mad when their guys swung at bad pitches. He wasn't openly pulling for them, but because of Bregman, he wanted them to win.

In the WS he got mad when AZ players swung at bad pitches or screwed up. Again, he wasn't rooting for them, but I could tell he wanted them to win. As a St. Louis fan, he's always hated teams that sign the high dollar free agents, except for the Astros, who were always underdogs when they were in the NL..
