The Texas Rangers won the World Series for the first time in the club’s 63-year history. The Arlington club beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0 last night to claim the American baseball championship and won the final 4-1.
After the hitting fest in the fourth game, which Texas lost 11-7, it took until the seventh round for the first point to be scored. This was by Corey Seager, who was hit by teammate Mitch Garver.
A series of singles in the ninth inning were followed by four more Texas runs, and Marcus Semien’s home run was the icing on the cake. Arizona’s hitters couldn’t dominate Texas’ pitchers. Josh Sborz ended the match with Ketel Marte’s goal and the celebrations began.
In addition, overjoyed Rangers players have their sights set on a pool party in right field at Arizona Stadium. A handful of security guards prevented the new champions from bathing in the tub where fans can usually watch the match while bathing.
Winning the World Series took a heavy burden off the Rangers’ shoulders, as Texas was one of six clubs to never win the championship. Only Colorado, Tampa Bay, Seattle, Milwaukee and San Diego are still waiting for their first Major Lague Beaseball title.
Rangers came very close when they first reached the final twelve years ago. Then, the World Series in St. In Game 6 against the St. Louis Cardinals, they came within three feet of the championship twice, but the Cardinals still came away with the championship.
Corey Seager was named the most valuable player of the 2023 finals. The 29-year-old player won the World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers three years ago and signed a 10-year contract worth 307 million euros with the Rangers. He hit three home runs in five games against Arizona.
Seager was also named World Series MPV in 2020. Only baseball greats Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson and Reggie Jackson were ahead of him in that regard.
