I am not a pro sports fan, but I did like to see the Rangers play back in the day. Taking the kids to Arlington Stadium. And now they are going to the World Series.

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

I went to Arlington Stadium as a kid, been a fan since I was born.

Watching the Josh Hamilton press conference, he continues to mention what God did in his life and how he redeemed him. He was asked "Josh is the the top of the mountain for you"

He replied "The top of the mountain will be when I stand before my Savior". :thumbsup

Wonderful. :thumbsup

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

Josh has overcome alcoholism, he was quietly avoiding the champagne celebrations in the clubhouse. JC Wilson noticed, and talked the team into using Ginger Ale so Josh could participate, so it has been Ginger Ale ever since.

World Series bound!!!! Go Rangers!!!

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

Great Story!

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

Go Rangers unless the Giants make it to the Series!!!

(So, fellow Texans. I'm a Bay Area transplant. Only been here 23 years. Full Texanizing will take more time. :lol)

God bless you, Timmy, you are a Saint!!

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

I'm pulling for the Giants to make it, then for Texas to lay the smackdown.

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

Anyone but the Yankee's, Braves, or Cubs, is fine with me!

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

Not just alcoholism, he was a crack addict and a pill head too ,Almost cost him his career, and marriage as well as his life. Originally drafted by the cubs, spent time with cincy and now the to the WS.. Amazing story on espn.com

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES

Timmy, I hate to break it to ya, but you aint no Texan... you gotta be born here to be a Texan.... LOL


I aint no Texan either, Ive been in Texas more than half my life, but I was born in Louisiana.... I am a MASSIVE Rangers fan and have been since the late 1980s (a couple years after moving here) but us transplants still aint "texans"

LOL!

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

I sat there in near tears watching my little red-shoed rangers win that last game.

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

Yeah, I know. In fact, some Texans measure Texanness in number of generations, and one just won't cut it! ;)

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

True dat! LOL!

My oldest son was born in Louisiana while we were visiting relitives for christmas. he got back accross the Sabine at just 2 weeks old. He is NOT a Texan.

my youngest was born in Texas, but being that neither his mother nor I was born here... well, he kinda aint either I suppose.

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

One of my sons is a native, btw, but he's not a sports fan, so no danger there. lol

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

I dont understand non-sports fans.

have some in my family.... still love them... but sports is sooooo fun....when you are winning... LOL!

Re: TEXAS RANGERS in the WORLD SERIES
 

I'm a selective sports fan. Love hockey. Watch the Superbowl and the major UT games, but otherwise, not much of a football fan. Baseball? Well, I'll be a rabid Giants fan for the next several days. lol
