I bet it feels good. It’s been a long wait
It feels absolutely amazing. Indescribable really. Been rooting for the Texas Rangers since 1978.

Never thought this day would happen. 2011 was a heartbreak I knew I just couldn't go through again.

Live on the west coast and almost made the drive to Phoenix today for the game but couldn't make it.

One of the best days ever! Enjoy the parade folks!

Yes, it is. I wrote one of those long Facebook posts this morning going through some of my history of being a Rangers fan. I had the feeling tonight was the night. So many memories down through the decades.
Yes being 62 remembering my parents taking me to RFK watching the Senators and Frank Howard. Still followed the team when they moved to Arlington. Had the old am radio listening to the team when they played Cleveland, Boston Baltimore and the Yankees. They rarely came on the TV on east coast. The first thing I went to from our daily newspaper was the Rangers box score.

After 2011 I thought that was it. That hurt so bad. I followed that team so closely. Figured that was it and the team would not get close again.
What a tremendous feeling.

I hope the some of the Rangers players watched or remember the Cubs-Cleveland world series! (16?) Series followed this exact win cadence and The Indians allowed the Cubs to win game 5 in Chicago and take game 6 and 7 from them at home.

I want no part of a game 6 or 7, especially with our postseason home performances.

Let's win this tonight! And when I say win, let's demolish them.
congrats,you got your wish.

For me this is the greatest championship ever. I am a huge fan of other sports. Went to Dirk parade

But this is the one. So invested my heart.

I am now a changed person

Ngl went to men’s church last nite hoping they would stream
Had heard Nadel the first inning on way. Of course had MLB app but did not look until church ended. A guy just told me it was still 0-0. So I looked quick and bam 1-0 Raced home back to see 8-9 innings

Blessed 4win

Not sure I could have handled being no hit for 6 innings

We missed several innings because we were at church as well. I mentioned to my wife and son last night that it was like God said "I will save the best for the last so you can see it."
