Congratulations! No offense to Dodgers fans but it's always good to see "new blood" succeed in the playoffs.

Trivia: The minor league team in my hometown in Indiana, single A, used to be a Diamondbacks affiliate.

The next couple of games won’t be against the Phillies top of the rotation starters.

One of these days you have to explain to me how you’re Philly born and bred but hate all the Philadelphia sports teams.

When I was young I was a Pirates fan. So I pretty much hated when the Phillies won the East division in the 1970s, knowing that they would lose the NL pennant to the Reds or Dodgers from the West. :mad:

Yesterday I finally threw away my Philadelphia Eagles shirt that I bought back in 1996. I said to my wife, "now that I've done that watch them win the Super Bowl this season."

They had a rough period from 93 to 96, a collapse in 93 and 94 and one and playoff exits in 95 and 96

The flaw in that story is that they already won the SB in 2018 when you still had it.

Yeah, I forgot about that. I haven't followed the NFL closely at all in over 20 years.

Well it's over, Texas makes some history. Texas which started life as the Washington Senators in 1961 win their first World Series. The four original expansion teams have finally all cleared that hurdle.

Mets 1969
Angels 2002
Astros (originally the Colt .45s and in the National League) 2017
Rangers 2023

Houston won last year so this is the first time since 1988-89 that two different teams from the same state have won the World Series in back to back years (Dodgers and Oakland). 1954-56 the Giants, Dodgers and Yankees all from New York did it back to back to back.

The top 10 list of teams with the longest droughts since winning a World Series:

1. Cleveland 1948

2. Padres ( never have won, expansion class 1969, 2 series appearances, 1 game won)

3. Brewers (never have won expansion class 1969 (Seattle Pilots) 1 series appearance, 3
games won)

4. Mariners (never have won, expansion class 1977 no World Series appearances)

5. Pirates 1979

6. Orioles 1983

7. Tigers 1984

8. Mets 1986

9. A's 1989

10. Reds 1990

The Yankees three-peat (98-00) to close out the 20th Century was the last time a team has repeated as World Champions to date, making it 23 straight years which is the longest time between repeat World Champions in baseball history (prior record was 14 years 79-92).

based on how Texas looked against Houston, Im not surprised they won it all. Just too many good hitters

Arizona did win the NL pennant, though I realize that's no consolation. Rangers finally won it all.

True. We went from losing 110 games a couple of years ago to winning the NL pennant.

It was good to see Texas finally win one. They came very close in 2011 when they were one strike away.

Arizona had a great run. They have some very good young players like Corbin Carroll. They should be contenders in upcoming years.
