The Texas Rangers are World Series Champions for the first time in the franchise's 63-year history after beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0 on Wednesday in Game 5. And many of the players have remained thankful to God for their success in the post season.

PHOENIX -- The Texas Rangers spent seven months of this season terrorizing opponents with a menacing offense that feasted on home runs and hardly ever let up. The first night of November showcased the other aspects that make them dominant -- gritty starting pitching, sound defense and a lineup versatile enough to manufacture runs when needed. It sealed them a title.

Former U.S. President George W. Bush will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Game 1 of the World Series between the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks Friday night. Bush, the U.S. president between 2001 and 2009, was part of a group that purchased the Rangers in 1989. He resigned as managing partner following his election as Texas governor in 1994. According to the Associated Press, Bush has participated in four World Series ceremonial first pitches, but Friday's at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, will be his first before an opener.

DAVE EUBANK MAKES an exploding gesture with his fist to alert the guerrilla soldiers following him of the danger ahead. “From here until we pass the road, the trail is lined with mines,” he says, scanning the mountainous Burmese jungle for signs of trouble. “Watch where you step.” As his signal relays down the line, conversations fall silent and the air hums with only the sound of heavy breathing and hundreds of footsteps on hard-packed ground. Eubank picks up the pace, slashing through brush and thorny stalks that tear at his clothing. A former U.S. Special Forces officer and ordained...

To celebrate Pride Month, most teams in Major League Baseball have scheduled a “Pride Night” to celebrate the LGBT community. However, this year, the Texas Rangers will be the only MLB team to not host a Pride Night for its fans. MLB’s practice of holding “Pride Nights” began in 2001 when the Chicago Cubs were the first team to schedule such an event. Since then, every team has adopted a similar event at their ballpark. It appears that the Rangers have no regard for this practice. While the team has themed nights on schedule to celebrate things such as Star...

Arlington, TX—In order to get a piece of the action, the Texas Rangers will pay tribute to Muslims all over the world by halving half price tickets and parking for all Muslims that attend their game on Saturday, June 13, 2009. The Texas Rangers will play the Los Angeles Dodgers in interleague play, and feel that since Obama has praised the entire Muslim world, that they should also do the same thing, knowing that America has become a “Muslim Nation.” Many have speculated that this may be a bad move, but the owner—Tom Hicks—assures people that this is simply taking...

If you’ve ever hiked around Utah, you probably never thought about how those trails came to be. Utah’s hidden heroes are those trail workers who work to create and maintain trails around Utah. Trails Utah is one non-profit group that is dedicated to planning, funding, and building trails throughout Utah. It’s a process most people don’t think about often. Sarah Bennett is the executive director and one of the biggest advocates of Trails Utah. Her work goes back to the early 2000s when she helped fund and create the Emigration Canyon Trails Master Plan. “By the time you actually get...

Tarrant County’s top health officials are claiming without evidence that large crowds for Texas Rangers games may turn into a coronavirus super spreading event. “We need to be sensible about how we bring back normal.

(Reuters) - Baseball fans packed the stands of Globe Life Field on Monday after the Texas Rangers opened their doors to 100% capacity, making the game the first North American sporting event without attendance restrictions since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The team said it was a sellout, with 38,238 in attendance under an open roof on a sunny day at the Arlington, Texas, stadium, the only one in baseball to allow full capacity after Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the state to fully reopen last month. Television cameras showed most fans not wearing masks, which were required at...

During an interview with ESPN aired on Wednesday’s “SportsCenter,” President Joe Biden criticized the Texas Rangers for planning to open their stadium at full capacity for Opening Day with a mask requirement, saying that the decision is mistaken and the Rangers “should listen to Dr. Fauci and the scientists and the experts.”

New York Rangers star Artemi Panarin is taking a leave of absence from the team in wake of a politically motivated article from Russia, in which his former Vityaz head coach alleges that the ex-forward of the Moscow Region club beat an 18-year-old girl in Riga, Latvia in 2011, The Post’s Larry Brooks reported Monday morning. Andrei Nazarov, who is currently the head coach of the KHL’s Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk, has repeatedly criticized Panarin for the forward’s outspoken beliefs regarding Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s regime. Nazarov is a known Putin supporter.

There was a surprising name on the NHL waiver wire on Sunday afternoon when the New York Rangers waived defenseman Tony DeAngelo. Why so surprising? Well, let’s count the ways. First there is the fact defense is the clear Achilles Heel of this Rangers team, and they aren’t really in a position to potentially be giving away players that could help for nothing. For all of his flaws away from the puck (and there are many), he can be very good — and perhaps even elite — with it. DeAngelo is coming off of a 2019-20 campaign that saw him...

New York Rangers defenseman Tony DeAngelo deleted his Twitter account and called the social media site a “disgrace,” after the site permanently banned President Trump. The star defenseman now says he will join Parler.

As part of an agreement finalized Tuesday, the Division Series, League Championship Series and World Series will be part of a bubble designed to minimize exposure to the coronavirus, which decimated the regular season and limited it to a 60-game schedule for each club.

Matt Dumba of the Minnesota Wild became the first player to kneel for the U.S. national anthem in the National Hockey League (NHL) on Saturday night before the Chicago Blackhawks faced the Edmonton Oilers in Alberta, Canada. Dumba, who is Canadian, was invited onto the ice for a special ceremony, walking down a red carpet and delivering a speech about racial justice. He knelt for “The Star-Spangled Banner,” but stood for “O, Canada,” the Canadian anthem. The scoreboard flashed a slogan with a hashtag: “We Skate for Black Lives.” “During this pandemic, something unexpected, but long overdue, occurred,” Dumba said,...
