When they release the promo dates, I highly recommend that you and other Rangers fans here try to get to a game where they'll be giving away World Series replica rings.

Those things are nice and are quality-built. The wife and I got Braves rings during the 2022 season.

The Braves had multiple ring giveaways throughout the season. The Rangers will probably do the same. Which is great because the price gouging would be ridiculous if there were only one ring night give away.

I got Phillies rings a few years ago, can confirm.

I'm very familiar with DFW as I've been there countless times and I have family out there.

Houston Metro is much bigger and yet the parades were in still in downtown Houston.

At the end of the day, the Rangers are Dallas' team so I feel like the parade should have been there, but whatever.

So, the Cowboys also play in Arlington. But I can guarantee you if there were a parade (and when there were in 90s) it wouldnt be in Arlington (Irving at the time).

not Dallas?

I'm okay with this. The old ballpark was in Arlington too. They've been there for decades.

Let the citizens who actually funded the stadium/team have this one.

Born in ‘70, too young to remember the Laundry SBs .

I was born in '73. Last SB was in '95.

Yeah, and of course the Cowboys started in Dallas and only moved to the mid cities later. The Rangers wanted to appeal to Ft Worth as much as Dallas from the very beginning. I bet there are more hardcore fans from west of Arlington than east of there.

No. They are Arlingtons team and they will let you know since Dallas tried to steal them away (if I'm remembering correctly) not too long ago.

Thought you meant the ‘92 one , when you were 19.

I love Ft. Worth..... Great town.

So did JFK. Safer than Dallas.

Ft Worth, where the West begins.

Had to go look it up to make sure I was remembering correctly and yep.

You said the last one.

You said the last one.

Do you follow the Mavs?

Before last nights Rangers WS win, the last Dallas franchise to win it all was the Dirk Nowitzki Mavs in 2011. Prior to that, it was 1999’s Dallas Stars. Each of the other Dallas sports teams has won it all since 1995. Food for thought.

 

[Cotton]

Do you follow the Mavs?

To a degree.

 

[p1_]

To a degree.

I remember the Mavs and Rangers both being in Championship series in 2011. It was awesome.
