The team'south name is shared with the law enforcement agency of the same name.

The franchise was established in 1961, as the Washington Senators, an expansion team awarded to Washington, D.C., after the metropolis's first AL ballclub, the 2d Washington Senators, moved to Minnesota and became the Twins (the original Washington Senators played primarily in the National League during the 1890s). Afterwards the 1971 season, the new Senators moved to Arlington, and debuted every bit the Rangers the following spring.

History [edit]

Washington Senators (1961–1971) [edit]

When the original Washington Senators appear their move to Minnesota to become the Twins in 1961, Major League Baseball decided to expand a yr before than planned to stave off the twin threats of contest from the proposed Continental League and loss of its exemption from the Sherman Antitrust Human action. As part of the expansion, the American League added ii expansion teams for the 1961 season–the Los Angeles Angels and a new Washington Senators team. The new Senators and Angels began to fill their rosters with American League players in an expansion draft. The squad played their countdown flavour at old Griffith Stadium, and then moved to the new District of Columbia Stadium in 1962 under a ten-year lease.

For most of their existence, the new Senators were the definition of futility, losing an average of 90 games a season. The team's struggles led to a twist on a joke about the old Senators: "Washington: first in war, first in peace and still last in the American League." Their simply winning flavor was in 1969 when Hall of Famer Ted Williams managed the guild to an 86–76 record, placing 4th in the AL East. Frank Howard, an outfielder/first baseman from 1965 to 1972 known for his towering home runs, was the team's virtually accomplished role player, winning 2 home run titles. The concurrent rise of the nearby Baltimore Orioles to regular championship contenders (winning their first World Series in 1966) did not assist the Senators' crusade either.

Ownership inverse easily several times during the franchise's stay in Washington and was often plagued by poor decision-making and planning. Post-obit their brief success in 1969, owner Bob Short was forced to brand many questionable trades to lower the debt he had incurred to pay for the team in late 1968; the purchase cost was reported at $9.4 one thousand thousand.^{[7] [8]} By the end of the 1970 campaign, Short had issued an ultimatum: unless someone was willing to buy the Senators for $12 million (by comparison, the New York Yankees were sold in 1973 for $8.8 million), he would not renew the stadium charter and would motility the team elsewhere.

Short was specially receptive to an offer brought up by Arlington, Texas, mayor Tom Vandergriff, who had been trying to obtain a major league sports team to play in the Metroplex for over a decade. Years before, Charles O. Finley, the owner of the Kansas City Athletics, sought to relocate his baseball team to Dallas, but the thought was rebuffed and ultimately declined past the other AL team owners(the A'south ultimately moved to Oakland, California in 1968). Arlington's hole card was Turnpike Stadium, a 10,000-seat park congenital in 1965 to firm the Double-A Dallas–Fort Worth Spurs of the Texas League. Withal, information technology had been built to MLB specifications, and only minor excavations would be necessary to expand the park to accommodate major league crowds.

Vandergriff's offer of a multimillion-dollar down payment prompted Short to make the move to Arlington. On September 21, 1971, American League owners voted 10–2 to allow the move of the franchise to Arlington for the 1972 season.^{[9] [10]} Senators fans were livid, and enmity came to a head at the order'south last game in Washington on Th, September 30. Thousands merely walked in without paying after the security guards left early, swelling the paid attendance of 14,460 to around 25,000, while fans unfurled a "SHORT STINKS" banner. With ii outs in the meridian of the ninth inning and the Senators leading 7–v, several hundred youths stormed the field, raiding it for souvenirs. One man grabbed start base of operations and ran off with it. With no security in sight and only three bases, umpire crew chief Jim Honochick forfeited the game to the New York Yankees.^{[11] [12] [thirteen] [14]}

The nation's uppercase went without Major League Baseball for 33 years, until the relocation of the National League's Montreal Expos, who became the Washington Nationals in 2005.

Texas Rangers (1972–nowadays) [edit]

Naming of the Rangers [edit]

After moving from Washington, the Senators were renamed after the Texas Rangers, the state-broad investigative law-enforcement agency which was founded past Stephen F. Austin in 1823 when Texas was part of United mexican states,^[xv] and whose mythology led to fictional characters such every bit The Solitary Ranger and Walker, Texas Ranger. Simply the Rangers besides had bouts as vigilante squads, when they abused their authority,^[16] including by lynching Hispanics.^{[17] [xviii]} In the wake of 2020'due south Black Lives Thing protests, prominent mainstream voices have shined a light on the historical racism associated with the law-enforcement agency and called for the baseball team to abandon the Rangers name.^{[19] [20] [21] [22]} The baseball team responded past committing to keeping the Rangers name. The team subsequently fabricated a argument clarifying that despite sharing the name, they are not affiliated with the police-enforcement bureau and they correspond equality by "condemn[ing] racism, bigotry and discrimination in all forms."^[23]

Start years in Texas (1972–1984) [edit]

Prior to the 1972 flavor, improvements were made to Turnpike Stadium, which reopened as Arlington Stadium, in grooming for the inaugural season of the Texas Rangers. The team played its first game on April 15, 1972, a one–0 loss at the hands of the California Angels, their 1961 expansion cousins. The next day, the Rangers defeated the Angels, 5–1, for the club's beginning victory.

In 1974, the Rangers experienced their get-go winning flavour after finishing last in both 1972 and 1973. Under the buying of Brad Corbett, they finished second in the American League West with an 84–76 record, behind the eventual World Series champion Oakland Athletics. The 1974 Rangers are notwithstanding the only MLB team to cease above .500 after 2 sequent 100-loss seasons. Mike Hargrove was awarded American League Rookie of the Twelvemonth, Billy Martin was named AL Manager of the Year, Jeff Burroughs won AL MVP, and Ferguson Jenkins was named the Improvement Player of the Year afterward winning 25 games, a club record to this day. The squad posted winning records again from 1977 to 1979 but roughshod brusque of reaching the playoffs. The Rangers came very close to clinching a playoff spot in 1981, merely wound up losing the start one-half of the AL West by ane-and-a-one-half games to Oakland at the time of the players' strike. Texas went on to finish under .500 each season through 1985.

The Rangers faced an attendance trouble for a few years in Texas, due in part to both the squad'due south inconsistent performance and the oppressive heat and humidity that can encompass the area in the summer. Until the Florida Marlins arrived in 1993, Arlington Stadium was frequently the hottest stadium in the majors, with temperatures frequently topping 100 °F (38 °C) throughout the summer. So, the Rangers began playing most of their weekend games betwixt May and September at night, a tradition that continues to this 24-hour interval.

A winning flavor in 1986 was a daze to pundits and fans alike equally the Rangers remained in the race for the American League pennant for the entire season. With a team consisting of stellar young rookies such every bit Rubén Sierra, Pete Incaviglia, Mitch Williams, Bobby Witt, and Edwin Correa, the Rangers finished the season in 2nd place with an 87–75 record, just five games behind the division-champion Angels. The season marked a dramatic 25-win improvement over the 1985 season, which resulted in yet another concluding-place finish in the Due west. The signing of 41-year-old star pitcher Nolan Ryan prior to the 1989 season allowed Ryan to reach his 5,000th strikeout, 300th win, and 6th and 7th no-hitters with the Rangers. Despite powerful lineups including the likes of Juan González, Rubén Sierra, Julio Franco, and Rafael Palmeiro and a pitching staff that besides included Charlie Hough, Bobby Witt, Kevin Brown, and Kenny Rogers, Valentine'south Rangers never finished higher up second identify and he was relieved of his duties during the 1992 season.

In April 1989, Rangers possessor and oil tycoon Eddie Chiles, sold the squad to an investment group headed by George W. Bush for $89 million.^[24] While his own equity in the team was a small-scale 1 ($500,000), Bush was named Managing General Partner of the new ownership grouping.

Bush went on to exist elected President of the United States in 2000.

During Bush's tenure, the Rangers and the Metropolis of Arlington decided to replace the aging Arlington Stadium with a new publicly funded stadium, at a toll of $193 one thousand thousand, financed by Arlington residents, through a sales taxation increment. Ground was broken on October xxx, 1991, on what would go The Ballpark in Arlington (now named World Life Park in Arlington).

In 1993, Kevin Kennedy took over managerial duties, presiding over the squad for two seasons, keeping the 1993 Rangers in the hunt for a playoff berth into mid-September; Nolan Ryan also retired subsequently that flavour.

Oates was named AL Manager of the Yr and Juan González was named AL MVP. The team featured a powerful lineup of hitters including González, Iván Rodríguez, and Rusty Greer, but continued to struggle with pitching despite having Rick Helling and Aaron Sele on their roster. Oates led the team to consecutive AL West championships in 1998 and 1999. Neither of Oates' final two playoff teams could win a single game, losing all six in back-to-dorsum sweeps at the easily of the Yankees, a team that won 3 Earth Series in the 1990s after defeating Rangers teams in the first circular. The 1999 team was to be the last playoff-bound team until 2010. En route to a second-straight last-place end, Oates resigned his position 28 games into the 2001 season.

In 1998, venture uppercase billionaire Tom Hicks bought the team for $250 million.^[26]

The lean years and the A-Rod era (2001–2004) [edit]

Prior to the 2001 season, star free agent shortstop Alex Rodriguez was signed by the Rangers in the near lucrative deal in baseball game history: a x-yr, $252 million contract. The motion was controversial and is frequently maligned by fans and writers who thought that owner Tom Hicks was placing besides much accent on one player instead of utilizing team resources to acquire several players, especially for a team that lacked pitching talent. Club officials maintained that Rodriguez would exist the cornerstone of futurity postseason success. Although Rodriguez's individual functioning was outstanding, the Rangers continued to struggle, and director Jerry Narron was fired following the 2002 season and was replaced past seasoned manager Buck Showalter. The 2003 season signified the Rangers' fourth-straight last-place finish, and afterwards a postseason fallout between Rodriguez and club management, the reigning AL MVP and newly appointed Rangers captain was traded to the New York Yankees for second baseman Alfonso Soriano and infield prospect Joaquin Arias.

Soriano was named the All-Star MVP later going ii for 3 with a iii-run dwelling run. Despite a late-flavour push button, the Rangers concluded up losing 6 of their terminal ten games and finished in tertiary place behind the Angels and A's, a mere three games out of first place.

Making changes (2005–2009) [edit]

In 2005, the Rangers again struggled to notice consistency among controversy and injuries. John Hart stepped downward every bit general director following the 2005 flavour. Jon Daniels was promoted from assistant general manager to replace him. Daniels, at 28 years and one calendar month, became the youngest general manager in major league history.

Daniels and the Rangers front function were very active in acquiring new players before and during the 2006 season.
