The Texas Rangers play baseball in the West Division of Major League Baseball's American League. The franchise was founded in 1961 in Washington D.C. as the Senators. The team struggled for most of its time in the nation's capital and moved to Dallas/Ft. Worth in 1971. The team has developed a reputation for great hitting and defense, but no matter how talented their bullpen, they've had problems with pitching. The Rangers have just never managed to get to the next level of play that would lift them into a long playoff run. This could be their year.

The Texas Rangers play their home games at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. Architecturally the field is a nod to many different features of baseball's famous parks - Tiger Stadium, Ebbet's Field, and the old Yankee Stadium. Visitors to the stadium for a Rangers game will get the chance to see a lot of offense as Rangers Ballpark in Arlington is a hitter's paradise. High temperatures, low humidity, and short fences make for a lot of home runs. Buy Texas Rangers tickets today and watch these underdogs shock the league and make a big impact this season!
