President Biden welcomed the Texas Rangers to the White House to celebrate their 2023 World Series victory. The team, led by World Series MVP Corey Seager, defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in a 4-1 series win. The President commended the Rangers for their journey to the championship, which included a wild-card round and victories over the Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles, and Houston Astros in the playoffs.
During the ceremony, President Biden highlighted the standout performances of players like Nathan Eovaldi and Adolis Garcia, who set major league records during the postseason. He also joked about manager Bruce Bochy needing to find space for another World Series ring if the team were to win again.
Despite their success last season, the Rangers are currently struggling in the standings with a 54-61 record, placing them third in the AL West and 9½ games out of a wild-card spot. However, the team presented President Biden with a personalized jersey and cowboy boots to commemorate their White House visit.
After the celebration, the Rangers headed to New York to face the Yankees in their upcoming game. While their chances of repeating as World Series champions seem slim, the team remains determined to make a push for the playoffs and defend their title. Stay tuned for more updates on the Rangers’ season and their quest for another championship.
