From 1961 to 1971 the Washington Senators didn\u2019t have much success in the nation\u2019s capital. So, they relocated to the Lone Star State and became the Texas Rangers. Although they sprinkled in some winning seasons, this franchise didn\u2019t make their first postseason appearance until 1996<\/a>. Then in 2011<\/a> Texas came within a strike of winning the World series \u2026 twice. Redemption came in 2023<\/a> as the Rangers hoisted their first World Series trophy. Nine playoff appearances, three AL pennants, and a championship aren\u2019t bad for a relatively young franchise. This team\u2019s all-time roster has some pretty prominent names, especially in the power department. It\u2019s time to grab a brisket sandwich and hop on your stallion as we gallop south to lasso up the all-time leaders in home runs for the Texas Rangers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
