The struggle has been real… I'm two 59/50 patch hats in (plus one for my best friend I bought us watching the game 5 celebration), 2 '47 brand caps, two pennants for kids, 4 tshirts for kids, tshirt for me, hoodie for myself and wife. Up next are flags to rub in my wife's aunt's face at thanksgiving, hopefully polos and hoodies for Christmas. Oh, forgot ticket stubs too.

I have watched WS/playoff highlights every single day since we won. Every. Single. Day.

There must be something wrong with me. Season ticket holder for over a decade and I haven't bought any World Series gear yet.

I bought a bunch of 2023 WS baseballs and 2 t-shirts ( 1 for and 1 for wife)

I bought a bunch of 2020 WS baseballs, as well.

I plan to get autographs on them. A nice display case with Corey Seager's auto on each.

You'll get there... you'll probably just wait for the back-2-back shirts.

For those of you who are cheapskates like me.... DHGate has re[;ica WS jerseys for sale now.

In fact, in typical Chinese fashion, they have some that were never worn.

I'll wait and use the Captains Cash to buy some in 2024. Already got myself a sleek All Star Game pullover.

I will tear up for the rest of my life watching stuff like that.

Video needs to be updated, but some good ranger moments in there. Personally, I'd take the odor punch out. Odor did nothing after he got that massive contract and the jays got the last laugh by sweeping us right out of the playoffs.

I'd like to forget the odor / banny era even existed.

Spoke a bit with Emily Jones out at the TCU game last Saturday and she said while 2023 was the most amazing thing ever, 2011 is still her favorite team. I think I probably feel the same way.

I understand that. Though for me, 2023 Rangers is my favorite team of all time.

2011 was full of personality the entire year. They wore their fun (to borrow a phrase from Willie) For all the world to see.

2023 got more expressive as the year went on love both teams felt more connected to 2011.

Yeah the claw and antlers stuff all year with all the fun merch and then all the characters and personalities on the team that you could tell were just having so much fun playing together.

We saw a lot more of that from this team as the postseason went on and we heard them talk in the interviews with the fox crew. The Creed thing popped up at the very end of the year for the fans to jump on with.

Yeah, I think the biggest issue with the 2023 team and feeling "connected" to it is that Seager and Semien are hyper-professional in how they go about things and aren't big on showing a ton of emotion (which is why Seager's yell after the HR in Game 1 was so epic). And then you've got Evan Carter who you feel like we barely had a chance to get to know before he was doing incredible things.

That's a tough one. I'm buddies with a member of the 2011 team and hung out with them regularly during the season as was part of his entourage when they were out and about. That said, as a lifelong Ranger fan, who grew up in Arlington , winning the World Series is an absolute lifelong dream.

Here is a pic of me wearing his ALCS championship ring after the season.

Was it Kinsler? I saw him out several times when he was playing here.

So the Rangers get to ditch Bally after next season.

How do AZ and now MINN get out of their deals, but TEX and others can't until 2025?

Article says Minnesota's deal is already up so they're just not getting renewed. Bally's is apparently bailing out of broadcasting baseball altogether once the contracts are done.

They gave up the rights to the Diamondbacks.
