The Texas Rangers are a powerhouse within the American League, and one of the most popular MLB teams in the southwestern portion of the U.S. Tickets to Texas Rangers games are popular in Arlington and the surrounding area ever since they moved out of Washington to Texas.

Starting out as the Washington Senators in 1961 after the original Senators moved to Minnesota and became the Twins, the Rangers have established themselves as one of the premier teams in all of MLB. They have had a number of players play them for them, and many have gone on to the Hall of Fame . However, only one player is currently in the Hall wearing the Rangers jersey is Nolan Ryan. Ryan finished his storied career with the Rangers, throwing over 5,000 strikeouts over his career, and seven no-hitters. He still holds the Major League record in both of these categories. Other greats, like Goose Gossage and Ted Williams, have also played for the organization.

The Texas Rangers also hold the distinction of once being owned by former U.S. President, George W. Bush.

Tickets to Rangers game are often a huge deal, especially if you are bringing people with you that have never been to an MLB game before.
