They got off to a horrible start, but not long after they traded their valued vets Berkman and Oswalt, the only two remaining from the '05 World Series, that young team began to win. They had the second best winning record after the All-Star break of all MLB teams.<br />We used to make the drive down 59 to H-town quite a bit. My big brother was on the UofH football team and we started going to the Dome the first year it was opened.<br />I will always have very fond memories of the Dome, both for baseball and football.no2liberalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07606158501954738755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306133954307767951.post-46216041112364954232010-10-24T09:13:24.957-04:002010-10-24T09:13:24.957-04:00n2l...I am a big Astros fan as well, going back to...n2l...I am a big Astros fan as well, going back to the '60s.

I was embarrassed.<br />Prior to becoming the Rangers, they were the Washington Senators, and when I was a kid there was no greater playground insult than for someone to accuse you of playing like a Senator. The Senators were the epitome of bumbling, bungling, buffoonery and failure.<br />After all these years, with many great players/coaches/owners, the Rangers have finally made it to the Big Show and good for them.<br />I doubt I will watch any of it, but I wish them well. I have many friends, including blog buddies, that are Ranger fans and I am happy for them. Plus it's good for this area to have such a big event going on and I am still a Nolan Ryan fan, from all his years as an Astro.<br />I just hope none of the games interfere with my Sunday night Fox animation domination shows.no2liberalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07606158501954738755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306133954307767951.post-69853691125402798942010-10-23T13:40:37.594-04:002010-10-23T13:40:37.594-04:00Great comment, James!

From Ted Williams, Billy Martin, Bobby Valentine, Buck Showalter, to Ron Williams....I saw Yankees catcher , the Late Thurman Munson, hit a homer, against the Rangers, to straight away center field. The ball never got above 15 ft. off the ground, to clear the outfield fence. That was the luck of the Rangers for soooo long. Today's Rangers are joining a group of elite teams to make it to the World Series. Like the New Orleans Saints of the NFL, last year, was THEIR YEAR! This year is the Rangers year. A burden has been lifted and as with the Saits....Hell has frozen over, AGAIN!!!! and pigs can fly! I remember Mr. Eddie Green (Chemistry teacher @ Nimitz High). We always could get him off subject(chemistry) to talk Rangers baseball. He wrote in my 1973 Vallhalla "Rangers vs. Dodgers - 1974". Well,36 years later and a team to be decided, the Rangers are in!!! Thank the POWER above (whom ever it may be).
