Rangers Baseball Hats, Jerseys and Merchandise
In 2006 the
Texas Rangers finished the season at 80-82.The Texas Rangers are hoping
the addition of free agent all star Sammy
Sosa will help the Rangers to make a playoff run. For a playoff
run to happen for the 2007 Texas Rangers, they will need career years
from Sammy Sosa, Kevin Millwood, Michael Young, Kenny Lofton, and
a healthy Eric Gagne. It is possible for the Rangers to win the division,
but they will have to make it past the Oakland
A's and Angels. The wild card most likely
will not come from the AL West division in 2007. The AL East and AL
Central division are better baseball teams on paper in 2007.

Information
The team
is named after the name of Texas' law enforcement agency
The Rangers
have never appeared in the LCS or the World Series - They have
been the division champions four times in 1994, 1996, 1998 and
1999 - Their best season was in 199 when they won 95 games and
their worst season was in 1973 when they only won 57.
Their first
manager was the legendary Ted Williams who managed in Arlington
for only one year.
The Rangers
have gone through eighteen managers in 32 years.
Nolan Ryan
is their only retire number besides Jackie Robinson (his number
was retired for the league). When the Washington Senators moved
to Minnesota in 1961 and became known as the Twins, the city of
Washington was granted another franchise, which was also known
as the Senators. That team remained in Washington until 1971 when
it moved to Texas and became known as the Texas Rangers. The idea
of having a major league baseball team in the Dallas/Fort Worth
area had been around since 1962, but the American League team
owners denied Charley Finley to move his Kansas City A's to Dallas.
Along with them came manager Ted Williams, who became legendary
for his .406 batting average in one season and two time winner
of the triple crown. The Rangers are one of the two longest running
AL franchises still waiting to win their first pennant along with
the Anaheim Angels. They have, however, won four American League
West division titles all in the 1990s. The Rangers have enjoyed
a lot a talent over the years including Nolan Ryan, Gaylord Perry
and Ferguson Jenkins. Recently the the Rangers finished just three
games behind in the AL West division with 89 wins thanks to the
help from all-stars such as Michael Young Alfonso Soriano and
pitcher Kenny Rogers.
Brad Penny is headed to Japan. The 33-year-old righty will join the Softbank Hawks of Japan's Pacific League, the team announced on its website Sunday. Penny, who pitched 12 seasons in the majors for six teams, indicated earlier in the week via Twitter he was headed for Japan.
