Texas Rangers
Fifty-one years after their arrival in North Texas, the Rangers are finally World Series champions. They did so in unforgettable fashion—sometimes dominating, occasionally exhausting, always entertaining. You will never forget this baseball season. And after writing about it for seven months, neither will any of us here at D. So as we wait for the parade to wind through Arlington, carve out some time to relive the championship run that was through our best baseball writing in 2023. It’s been a joy to share the journey with you.
