Texas Rangers Fun Facts
The Texas Rangers are a professional baseball team in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. The Rangers are a member of the Western Division of Major League Baseball's American League. From 1994 to the present, the Rangers have played in Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, located in Arlington, Texas. The team's nickname originates from the famous law enforcement agency of the same name.
The franchise originated in 1961 as the Washington Senators, an expansion team awarded to Washington, D.C. after the city's first American League team, the original Washington Senators, relocated to Minnesota and became the Twins. After the 1971 season, the Senators were moved to Arlington, Texas and became the Rangers the following year.
The Rangers are one of three Major League franchises to have never played in a World Series, along with the Seattle Mariners (established in 1977) and the Washington Nationals (established in 1969 as the Montreal Expos). The Senators/Rangers franchise is the oldest team in any of the major North American professional leagues that has never won a league championship, although the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Indians and San Francisco Giants won their most recent respective World Series prior to the founding of the Senators/Rangers franchise. Until 2010 with their 3-2 series win over the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS, the Rangers were the only MLB team that had yet to win a postseason series; their three previous playoff appearances (1996, 1998, and 1999) all resulted in first round losses to the New York Yankees.
