This season has been awesome for the Rangers! Although they didn't win the World Series, they are still my heroes. I'm so proud of the way they played, and this poem is just for them. Thanks Rangers for such a great year!!!
Rangers' Fan Memories
By: Amanda Sanders King
Through the chilliness of April and into the heat of summer,
There evolved a team in Texas that was unlike any other.
With a tight budget and hardly any money to spend,
Ron Washington put together a team that would depend
On each other to win no matter what the situation.
And win, they did with much elation.
“It‘s time” was their ultimate theme.
With anticipation of what the season would bring!
Speed and hitting was put to the test.
Pitching was at its all time best.
Then, Hicks went bankrupt in the court;
The Rangers are for sell was the report.
It came down to two who wanted to buy;
Greenburg and Nolan wouldn’t deny
Their passion to invest in the Rangers
No matter what might be the hidden danger.
The sale brought so many pleasure
For Nolan has been a beloved treasure.
Thirty some odd years Texans had waited;
The arrival of this owner was too belated.
Since the deal was finally done,
The players kept on playing and won!
Antlers and claws on everyone’s mind,
Team unity and happiness is what they would find.
With so many who had never believed;
The Rangers took over and finished the deed.
Beating the Angels for the title and Rays for the division,
The Yankees were looking to destroy their vision
Of the World Series that Texas had never seen.
So the Rangers shattered the Yankees dreams!
They did the unthinkable to get to the series,
Shooting down so many predictions and theories.
However, the World Series they would not win;
The Giants were greater than they’d ever been.
With tears on Rangers fans eyes and cheeks,
They would once again become lowly and meek.
Nothing is lost but much has been gained;
Some day the Rangers a world series will obtain.
Kinsler, Young, Andrus, Molina, Lewis and Lee,
Cruz , Moreland, Hunter, Hamilton, Wilson and Murphy,
Rangers’ fans give the claw and tip our hats to you ,
For all the awesome things that you do.
Thanks for making our year one to remember,
And giving us something to cheer about in November!
