Texas Rangers Tickets

The Texas Rangers play in the American League of Major League Baseball. The Rangers reside in the AL West Division and compete against division rivals the Los Angeles Angels, Seattle Mariners, and Oakland Athletics. Texas plays its home schedule at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas which has a seating capacity of 49,115; the Rangers Stadium opened in 1994 and has seen some tremendous home run totals. Rangers Manager Ron Washington, who completed his 1^st season in 2007, finished the 2007 MLB Schedule with a 75-87 record and a 4th place finish in the American League West. It marked the 8^th consecutive season that the Rangers missed out on the postseason. The Texas roster did have its share of great performances. Michael Young continued his great play, while Vicente Padilla fell a bit short of his 2006 production and Hank Blalock missed most of the season with a nagging rib cage injury.

The Texas Rangers franchise was established in 1972 after a brief stay in Washington. The Rangers have had some great players throughout its history and has retired 2 Rangers numbers: 26, Johnny Oates and 34, Nolan Ryan. The Rangers haven't yet won a World Series, but have won the West Division in 1996, 1998, and 1999. Despite only having one playoff win, the Rangers have enjoyed some of the most prolific offensive performances in MLB history. Team Owner Tom Hicks bought the franchise in 1998, quickly enjoying two division titles. GM Jon Daniels was promoted to the position in 2005, becoming the youngest GM in MLB history. Daniels first major deal was trading Alfonso Soriano to the Nationals. He has since made several more big time moves. His more recent deals have really turned out well for the Rangers.

Heading into 2008, the Rangers added free agents Milton Bradley, Eddie Guardado, and Jason Jennings. They also added productive OF Josh Hamilton via trade. The Rangers believe this newfound balance between explosive offense and good pitching can elevate them to the top of the West.
