With 3 months until baseball in Chicago returns, I thought it would be interesting to look at the all time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. We continue today with the Texas Rangers.
The Rangers began life in 1961, joining the American League as the second incarnation of the Washington Senators after the original franchise moved to Minnesota to become the Twins. Following the 1971 season, the team moved to Arlington, Texas and became the Rangers. I’ve seen them play 31 times, across 2 states and 4 different stadiums.
