The Texas Rangers
This is a character-driven story about how a baseball franchise went from league-wide mockery and derision to national adulation as a model sports team.
"Texas Rangers: A Baseball Love Story" chronicles the journey--and the people--who lived the legend that has become The Texas Rangers.
How did a lowly expansion team from Washington DC, with the worst record in baseball, become the Texas Rangers?
In this film we explore many fascinating twists and turns over nearly 40 years and reveal how, in 2010, that lowly 3rd rate team beat the NY Yankees for the pennant and suddenly found themselves in contention for the World Series. Then in 2011 the Rangers once again found themselves in contention.
This time against the St. Louis Cardinals. The high drama of the back and forth Game 6, in which the Cardinals erased a two run deficit int eh bottom of the ninth, then did it again in the 10 is unprecedented! In both innings the Rangers were one strike away from their first World Series Championship.The 2011 World Series was the first to go all seven games since 2002!
