Texas Rangers World Series Parade

Throngs of elated fans of the Texas Rangers amassed early along a two-mile expanse adjacent to the team’s stadium, eagerly awaiting the commencement of Friday’s parade to herald the franchise’s inaugural World Series triumph.

The celebratory procession follows the Rangers’ decisive 5-0 victory away against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 5 of the World Series, clinching the title. This historic win arrived seven days subsequent to the series’ opening game, where Adolis García’s 11th-inning home run secured the win, building on Corey Seager’s game-tying two-run homer in the ninth.

Anticipation was high for the appearance of World Series MVP Corey Seager, AL Championship Series MVP Adolis García, and the entire Rangers roster at the parade, set to traverse Arlington’s vibrant entertainment district, located centrally between downtown Fort Worth and Dallas along Interstate 30.

Upon their triumphant return to North Texas on Thursday, the Rangers were met with fanfare, with All-Star second baseman Marcus Semien being the first to deplane, proudly lifting the World Series trophy aloft.

The parade’s route commenced on the southern perimeter of Globe Life Park, proceeded alongside AT&T Stadium—home to the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys—circled the Mark Holtz Lake, named in honor of the esteemed late broadcaster of the Rangers, and passed the former ballpark that witnessed the Rangers’ World Series bids in 2010 and 2011. Post-parade festivities included player speeches during an al fresco celebration near their retractable-roof home ground, established in 2020.

Mayor Jim Ross of Arlington extolled the championship as a “dream realized after fifty years of aspiration.”

The Rangers celebrated this landmark victory in their 63rd season since their inception as the Washington Senators in 1961, which preceded their relocation to Texas in 1972.
