A Look Back...

Today, I will recall the 10 greatest moments in the Rangers' incredible season...
10. Vlad homers in his return to LA, meaning he has homered against every MLB Franchise.

9. Colby pitches 8 great innings and gets himself 2 RBIs in a win at Milwaukee in the 2nd game of our 11-game win streak.

8. Salty walks it off on opening day against Toronto, unfortunately he did not pan out, but we will always love him for that hit!

7. Colby throws 9 scoreless innings at Seattle vs Cliff Lee, and the Rangers win in 12, 2-0.

6. Cruz hits a 2-run homer in the top of the 14th at Detroit, ending the drought at Comerica. In an interview after, he said, "I was hungry and it was starting to rain." Epic.

5. Matt Treanor pinch-hits in Florida, and the unlikeliest candidate comes through with a 2-run, game-winning triple with the Rangers down to their final out.

4. Cliff Lee pitches a complete game in ALDS Game 5 as the Rangers win 5-1 and clinch their first ever postseason series victory.

3. Rookie closer Neftali Feliz strikes out A-Rod looking to beat the mighty Yankees and send the Rangers to the World FREAKING Series.

2. Michael Young becomes the franchise's all-time hits leader as he drives in two with a single up the middle at Florida.

1. Josh Hamilton scores from second on an infield single in the bottom of the 8th to tie the game, leading to a 10-9 Rangers victory.

It was a great season, and to look back on it with anything other than pure excitement and pride would be a mistake! Rangers fan for life!
