The Last 2023 Recap: World Champs

It still feels surreal to write that.
The theme of my ALCS preview was that the Rangers were the underdogs. And even though I didn’t like them; the Astros were still the champs until someone took it from them.
I don’t know then if I truly believed it would be the Rangers. But I dreamed it would be.
When Eric Nadel yelled “Ranger fans you’re not dreaming!!” it was like he knew at that moment all Rangers had one of two feelings: this can’t be real can it? OR if I’m dreaming; don’t ever wake me up! And yet, even though it is really legitimately real life… it does still feel like a dream.
