Texas Rangers Playoff Tickets

The Texas Rangers Playoff history dates back 2 decades, and includes some of the most memorable teams in the history of the AL. The Rangers moved to Texas in the early 1970’s, after a decade of being known as the Washington Senators. The Texas Rangers struggled to make the MLB postseason in the early years in Texas. It would take almost 25 years for the Rangers to make their first playoff appearance. During that span, although the Rangers did not reach the playoffs, they fielded some incredible teams, with players like Nolan Ryan, Julio Franco, and Ruben Sierra. The Rangers playoff fortunes began to change in the 1990’s. During the 90’s the Rangers became increasingly competitive in the American League West, winning their first AL West title in 1996. During the 1990’s the Rangers would win 3 AL West Titles, and advance to three MLB playoffs. The Texas Rangers playoff success wouldn’t come for another decade. In 2010, following a 20 year playoff drought, the Rangers once again won the AL West and advanced to the playoffs. The 2010 Texas Rangers playoff team would reach heights yet achieved by the team. Following a tight 3-2 series win in the ALDS, the Texas Rangers knocked out the defending World Series Champion New York Yankees, to claim the franchise’s first ever American League Championship. Following the team’s success in 2010, the Rangers returned to the ALCS in 2011, winning for a 2nd straight year. The two straight trips to the World Series remain the best run in the history of the Texas Rangers and includes one of the most successful runs in MLB Playoff history. In 2015 the Rangers lost in the ALDS against the Blue Jays in a 3-2 series. The Rangers are expected to clinch the AL West in 2016 and once again attempt to win their first World Series championship.
