- Опубликовано: 26 окт 2023
- In honor of the Texas Rangers’ appearance in the World Series, ACU is sharing this brief history of the organization with Rangers fans everywhere. This engaging 20-minute video, led by John Blake, executive vice president of public affairs for the Rangers, is part of the Baseball History and Culture course ACU developed for the Rangers earlier this year. Blake has spent a career in major league baseball and was recently inducted in Rangers Hall of Fame.
In 2022, ACU launched an educational partnership with the Texas Rangers called RangersU powered by ACU, which offers online academic courses for players, coaches and staff interested in enhancing their leadership development, professional skills and knowledge of all things baseball. In the summer of 2023, RangersU extended its reach by offering academic content from these player pathways to the general public through RangersU Public Courses.

As a rangers fan i believe im qualified to summarize. "25 years of losing a lot. 20 years of losing a normal amount. And a World series championship in 2023"
Literally makes no sense but go off sis
@@Moneymeechsimbait makes perfect sense actually. bUt gO oFf 🥴 cringe boy
That Ballpark at Arlington is still one of the most beautiful sporting venues in America. I miss everything but the heat
Rangers World Series Champions!!!
My grandfather had waited all of his life to have a pro baseball team in the Dallas area, and took me to a Rangers game in 1974. I was 6. Got a picture of myself sitting on Toby Harrah's knee and got my cap signed by a young Jim Sundberg. My grandfather had TV, but he always listened to the games on the radio instead. I wish he were here to see the Rangers finally win the World Series. 😊
MY GRANDPA NEVER TOOK ME TO A RANGERS' GAME, BUT, HE TAUGHT ME TO BE A RANGERS FAN!
Josh hamilton still to this day has the sweetest swing I have ever seen in my life
Him and Raffy
Griffey and it’s not even close.
"I think the team at that point is starting to go in the right direction."
no kidding lol
And then….
2023 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!!!!
Go Rangers!!!!
Great video and refresher 😊 ITS BASEBALL TIME IN TEXAS !!! Go rangers !!!
Super informative. Must've been filmed before the start of the 23 season.
Must have been. They didn't even mention the signings of Bruce Bochy or Jacob deGrom
Some parts are film, the older footage. More recent footage isn't film though, it's mostly digital.
I was born just prior to the start of the Texas Rangers 7th season in Arlington, in March of 1979. And I can vividly remember attending games in the old Arlington Stadium, the first of which would have been the summer of 1988, when I was just 9 years old. I was deployed to the Middle East in 2010 and 2011. Therefore, I missed seeing both of the previous World Series. I am very grateful that I was able to attend a game in September this year, against the Mariners. We Won…2-0! But more importantly for all of us Diehard Rangers fans, I’m thankful that I was able to watch every single inning of this successful World Series run! Thanks for posting…brought back good memories!
The Texas Rangers our Your 2023 World Series Champions….and they didn’t Cheat to get it….How Flipping Sweet It Is!!
I hope Mr. John Blake is celebrating tonight with some champagne 🍾. Congratulations from a Dodger fan.
Was 13 years old when the Rangers moved to Arlington in 1972....fast forward - I'm 64, and have been a faithful fan for all that time...I'm on cloud nine with the World Series Champion Texas Rangers.....
"started to go in the right direction"
Little bit of an understatement, huh
Era 1. 1972-1995
- Never made the playoffs
Era 2. 1996-1999
- Couldn’t make it past the ALDS, losing to the Yankees 3 times in 4 years.
Era 3. 2000-2009
- Never made the playoffs
Era 4. 2010-2016
- 2 World Series Appearances, 5 playoff appearances. 2 of the biggest chokes in sports history in 2011 and 2015. Never won a title.
Era 5. 2017-2022
- Never made the playoffs
Era 6. 2023-?
- First World Series Championship in franchise history. More to come.
Started watching baseball as a 9 year old kid in 1987. Same year I bought my first pack of Topps baseball cards (junk wax era). Had a bunch of Starting Lineup figures, posters etc. Fell in love with the game. Then one night a few years later, the Rangers are in town to play my hometown Tigers, and I'm watching the game on tv when I first seen my favorite player of all time. #7 Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez. I think he's why I always had a little love for the Rangers except when they played the Tigers. I'm so happy for the Rangers and their fans, congratulations. Also thank you for developing Pudge. If it's not for him, I don't get to enjoy all those years of Tigers success, despite not winning a World Series.
Love the pics of Arlington Stadium. It was minor league, but sooo much fun.
Gonna need an epilogue soon, John!
Fun summary. That being said, kinda amazing that shmucks like Andrus and Harrison got shout-outs and guys like Adrian Beltre, Kenny Rodgers and Rusty Greer didn't...
Also, I loved the Ballpark in Arlington. A beautiful stadium with so many memories. I miss everything about it other than the heat. My family used to watch the 1st 2 innings from the concourse while we waited for the shadows to shift over and cover our seats near the left field line and third base.
I hope Pudge and Juan gone can get a ring
Texas Rangers synonymous w/Offensive Power and No Pitching. We needed a change in the pitching culture, so we brought in Nolan Ryan (Team President) and Mike Maddox (Pitching Coach) to address that area of need. Eventually things changed, and we got to where we wanted (2 WS appearances ‘10 & ‘11) although coming up short both times. Hopefully, we get a chance to rewrite history very soon in ‘23…
Lets be real 2011 they were the best team
@@skinnie2838This team will be better than those 10/11/12 teams imo.
Dumbacks 😂 ain't gonna win with that young team and their coach is not ready for bouchys lineup and skills 🎉 rangers got more dangers then nick sabans whole career 😂
@@TruthDissident Im sayin, the 2011 rangers were better than the 2011 cardinals.
As far as comparing them to this current version. maybe we will see. I want DeGrom to pitch a full year see if we can get 100 + wins.
And then Jon "the snake" Daniels got rid of Nolan and Maddox and we went right back to the shitter. Not a coincidence that once Jon "dick in his hand" Daniels got YA FIRED, the Rangers win the world series. The curse was lifted, the albatross was gone. JD has a lot of nicknames.
Had no idea Twins were the fist version of the Senators…
RANGERS, YOU MADE MY YEAR EVEN BETTER! RIGHT AFTER I TURNED 50, YOU WENT OUT AND WON THE WORLD 🌎 SERIES Cm CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY! THANK YOU FOR THAT! YOU ARE NO LONGER MY LOVABLE LOSERS, AS FAR AS BASEBALL ⚾ TEAMS ARE CONCERNED!
Not a Rangers fan, but seeing the historical tidbits shown during the WS, I was right that they WERE the baseball version of the Saints.
I was happy they finally got over the hump. My half siblings are in the Dallas area and are Ranger fans. My middle brother and his family went to the parade.
EDIT: My oldest brother was born nearly a month and a half before the Rangers got the green light to move.
I was there for Nolan’s last no hitter. Been a lifelong fan and still In disbelief over what has transpired this week. We have finally done it! Screw the cowboys. They are cursed.
The three best players in TEXAS history are NOLAN RYAN, PUDGE RODRIGUEZ AND JUAN GONZALEZ.
Idk man. Josh hamilton wasn’t here long but he might be the most impactful player. Better deserves a mention, and Corey Seager will one day be on that list.
Corey Seager
Harold Baines
Ferguson Jenkins, Bert Blyleven, Adrian Beltre, Buddy Bell, Alex Rodriguez, Ian Kinsler, Will Clark, Rafael Palmeiro, in addition to the three you mentioned. There have been a lot of truly great players who spent a few seasons or more here. As much as I love Juan, he probably wouldn't be in my top 3.
12:14 oh the similarities to the 2023 Rangers team
You left out the Billy Martin managed Texas Rangers in the mid 70's.
Remember the days when your team couldn't give away tickets? The same organization that fired Whitey Herzog & Billy Martin. Y'all didn't give either one of those managers a fair chance. Fired Billy Martin after the Rangers finally had a winning season. If you had given either one of these gentlemen a fair shake the Rangers could have been in the World Series a lot sooner. In case you don't remember Whitey & Billy faced each other in the 1976 & 77 ALCS's. I wonder how Rangers management felt at that time.
They got that Championship now.
#WentAndTookIt
#MissionAccomplished
40 years of losing. 2 of the biggest chokes in sports history in 2011 and 2015. And a World Series Championship in 2023.
The past is in the past, my friend. Now it’s time to look to the future of the Texas Rangers!!!! I wanna say that it’s going to be a bright one!!!!
I attended Nolan's 7th no hitter as a young boy. Ill never forget it
My friends were attending his 6th no hitter against Oakland, but left early, in order to get a jump on traffic.
I went to that original stadium and it was HOT in the outfield.
I think I’m the first to watch this video since they won the World Series last night.
I am positively thrilled that the Rangers won the Series! Feel good story.,.
I think we can finally forget but never forgive Nelson Cruz and neftali feliz.
Thank you ownership for putting up the resources for our first of many championships! Still liked the Ballpark in Arlington more!
Thank you for this.. I was born in Arlington, and I have been a lifelong fan. From arlington stadium to the ball park in Arlington to globe life to the hill I would slide down on wintery days as a kid (where texas live is now) we gotta get two more wins 🏆
I remember getting my picture taken (when I was young enough to not really remember it) with new pitching phenomenon David Clyde. He went nowhere. My family was from Arlington and one of my great-grandfathers worked for or with Tommy Vandergriff’s father Hooker Vandergriff. Tommy single-handedly got the Senators to move to Arlington. Now thinking back on it I would have much rather had my picture taken with Jim Sundberg, or Buddy Bell or even Toby Harrah.
Little did he know that the Rangers would win the World Series on the 1st of November 2023.
Update this 9 days young video. World Series winners, baby.
I will say the Texas heat could be terrible in the old ballpark. However it was by far the most beautiful ball park out there and the new ballpark doesn’t hold a flame remotely close to it.
i graduated in the global life field this is dope 3-1 rangers hope they win
Hey me too class of 21
Your wish is granted, son.
Let's Go Rangers baby we got it 🎉🎉 MATES 🙂
“Everyone was wondering what would happen if the Rangers didn’t win the World Series. I guess we’ll never know.”
Thank you, Corey Seager, thank you Marcus Simean, thank you Bruce Bochy, thank you Adolis García, thank you to every single member, staff, and crew of the 2023 Texas Rangers!!!! God bless all of you, God bless the USA, God bless Texas, and God bless the sport of baseball!!!!!!!
Take me out to the ballgame
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack
I don’t care if I never get back
So let’s root, root root for the Rangers
If they don’t win it’s a shame
For its 1 2 3 strikes your out
At the old ballgame!!!!!!
*CAN YOU TAKE ME HIGHER*
*TO A PLACE WITH GOLDEN STREETS*
*CAN YOU TAKE ME HIGHER*
*TO A PLACE WHERE BLIND MEN SEE*
Go Rangers. I remember becoming a fan ever since fox sports would broadcast there games in san antonio.
It gets hot here Texas during the summer. So I never understood why anyone thought it was a good idea to have an open air ballpark that I was going to be used during the summers. I used to hit up those games in the 90s and it was hotter than a mother out there. Especially being along the 3rd base - left field side. The Ballpark in Arlington is a beautiful stadium but it was the perfect stadium NOT for Texas.
World Champions baby!!!!!!!!! LETS GO TEXAS!!!!!!!!! MF YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A HUEVO!!!!
This is an amazing video!!! 💻 ✅
I’m very happy the TEXAS RANGERS finally won the WORLD SERIES! 💍 🏆
Nolan Ryan is the GREATEST pitcher of all time! 🤚 ⚾️ 💨 🔥
It feels funny looking at Washington and the 10-14 teams now, knowing that he will be managing against the Rangers (led by the man who beat him and the Rangers in 2010) as the manager for the Angels in 2024.
aged *VERAY *well
Y’all are gonna need to add another chapter at the end
Time for a new chapter “Rangers Championship”
Hopefully Nelson Cruz will no longer be crucified for his misplay of David Freese's fly ball in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series.
Great summary. However should have been edited to include 2023 before airing. Also, no mention of Adrian Beltre.
getting canseco was a pretty big deal but they dont talk about that
Until recently, the owners did not pay for a championship pitching staff. Pitching always killed us...
Finish the story! We’ve got a whole new chapter to share. 😁
Yo. I will pay someone to trim that damn left eyebrow off John Blake. Holy shit. Has nobody told him about it yet?!!?!?
Founded by Luis "Cowboy Jesus" Gonzalez in 1879 The Texas Twistersox were formally induced into professional play after 5 years of playing in the Spitoon League of former Civil War soldiers. After the old city of Creekbed was wiped from the map in the Great Texas City Twister of 1909, the team would be hastily renamed the Texas Rangers and moved to the fledgling rail town of "Arlingtonville", today known as the home of both the Rangers and Dallas Cowboys in 7 years. In 1915 the entire Texas Rangers squad was killed at the Somme, forcing the local women to pick up bats. The Rangers won the 1915 World Series against the Brooklyn Robins after 7 straight 1 run games, the highest recorded total score for any team in the World Series at the time; a record broken by a 4 run 2nd inning in 1922. In 1927, the Rangers' President Robert R. Roberts, and entire pitching and batting rotation was arrested for running an illegal hooch operation during prohibition which forced Arlingtonville to hire the entire 1926 World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals roster to fill things out. They would subsequently win 867 out of 162 games that year, which would be their best overall record until 1940. After winning the 1944 World Series by having the opposing team poisoned, the entire team was killed on D-Day. The beleaguered Rangers again hired the 1926 World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals roster, losing all 6 scheduled games that year. After a cheating scandal rocked Arlington in 1969, the league outlawed Pitcher Assassination through dugout sniper. Indeed, by 1970 no team was allowed to have any firearm on MLB sanctioned grounds. Sadly, The Rangers got away with 7 consecutive seasons of cheating, accounting for 5 of their 57 World Series titles during those years. From 1980 to 1990 Texas went through the longest win draught in recorded baseball history, only making the 1991 World Series on accident when a MLB computer replaced TOR with TEX. After defeating Montreal in 3 games, the Rangers would have unprecedented success until the entire team was killed on 9/11. Unfortunately, my "Complete History of the Texas Rangers" was printed in 2002 so, that's as far as I can take you.
Let' s not forget that David Clyde saved the franchise from bankruptcy on 27th 1973...
First sellout ever!!
I don’t think the new ballpark was necessary. Just drink more beer if you’re hot.
Fun fact, the Rangers just put on the least viewed World Series in recent history after spending what I called the Astros tax spending $1 billion just to get past the Astros. Who have dominated MLB the past eight years with a straight ALCS appearances, as well as winning the division year after year.
TO SADDESTCHORD: SORRY, YOU'RE DEAD WRONG. JUAN GONZALEZ AND PUDGE RODRIGUEZ BOTH CAME UP THRU THE RANGERS MINOR LEAGUE SYSTEM. THAT'S WHY THEY ARE THE BEST TWO. RYAN, OF COURSE, WAS OUGHTTA SIGHT!!.THE REST CAME ALONG LATER ON, BUT NONE AS GOOD AS RODRIGUEZ AND GONZALEZ, PLUS NOLAN " NO HIT" RYAN.
Should have retrofitted a roof on the ballpark in arlington. The Shed is a joke on the exterior.
What about Nolan Ryan? He had more to do with that than John Daniels. Went down and left within two years of Jon in charge. We hit rock bottom and within two years of John Daniels been gone. We won the World Series.
301 battersstruk out by RYAN is not attainable by today's overpaid five to six inning starters. BOY, BASEBALL HAS SURE CHANGED.....FOR THEWORST.
Uh, Gerrit Cole and Justin Verlander both had 300+ Ks in 2019, Scherzer did in 2018, and Chris Sale in 2017
@@matthewmorgan4765 ok "Matt". But were they 42? Were they? "Matt"?
I know Texas is still paying Alex Rodriguez
