1972. 1972 is when the Washington Senators moved and became the Texas Rangers. For 38 years, they did nothing, collecting all of one win in the playoffs over three separate visits.
Yankees Vs. Rangers, ALCS Game 6: Neftali Feliz Slams Door, Clinches World Series Berth
They’ve got eight wins in the 2010 postseason. Eight wins, and their first-ever trip to the World Series.
Closer Neftali Feliz came out of the bullpen and inherited a 6-1 lead, needing only to record three outs to send the Rangers along. The first batter he faced was Curtis Granderson, and Feliz put him away with a 98mph fastball for a strikeout.
Up next was Robinson Cano, and Cano fisted and excuse-me grounder to second for the easy second out of the inning.
Up third, very appropriately, was former Ranger Alex Rodriguez. And on the fourth pitch of Rodriguez's at bat against Feliz, his knees were buckled by an outside breaking ball, called for strike three.
Fireworks went off and the players all poured out of the dugout and bullpen onto the field. The Rangers have never had a bigger day.
