Rivalry Week: The Texas Rangers

If you went to school in Texas, you most likely did a Pledge of Allegiance to the Texas flag. One state, under God, one and indivisible. Texans are known for many things, some are fair and some, not so much. When it comes to baseball, the state is split in half, depending on where you grew up and your preference in teams.

In 1972, the Washington DC Senators moved to Arlington to become the Texas Rangers. Because ‘Texas’ is in the name, people think that if you live in Texas, you must be a Rangers fan.
