The Texas Rangers began their season opener against the Chicago Cubs with a special celebration, as they unfurled their World Series championship banner for the first time in franchise history. The banner was dropped from Globe Life Field’s roof support high above right field, and fans watched in awe as the Commissioner’s Trophy was brought to home plate by manager Bruce Bochy and pitcher Josh Sborz.
Bochy expressed his gratitude to the team’s fans for their tremendous support and emphasized the importance of savoring the moment. He urged players to take it all in and enjoy the celebration before they received their championship rings during the second game of the series on Saturday night. This marked the Rangers’ first World Series title since moving to Texas 52 years ago and only their third overall in franchise history, which originated in 1961 as the Washington Senators.
Despite falling short in two previous World Series appearances, the Rangers finally clinched victory in 2021 after coming up short again in 2010 and 2011. Pitcher Max Scherzer, who was part of the Washington Nationals championship team in 2019, emphasized how important it was to celebrate with fans after missing out on celebrations due to COVID-19 restrictions. Watching from opposing dugout, Cubs manager Craig Counsell felt a sense of jealousy towards the Rangers’ accomplishment.
