Game 3 earned the second-lowest television rating for a World Series game.
On Saturday, Janet and Jim Kerr's dreams finally came true as the Texas Rangers got the first victory in a World Series game in franchise history. Unfortunately, one of them could not be there to see it happen.
Mitch Moreland hit a three-run homer in the second inning, Josh Hamilton added a solo shot in the fifth and the Texas Rangers beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2 on Saturday night to close to 2-1 in the World Series.
When the Texas Rangers finally made the World Series, there was only one logical reaction from old-time baseball fans in the nation's capital.
If imitation is the best form of flattery, Texas Rangers Baseball Manager Ron Washington must be very flattered.
For a Fort Worth couple, watching the Texas Rangers isn't just about cheering their team to victory. Since one of them was diagnosed with cancer, it's become a way to spend as much time together as possible.
With the home team struggling, the crowd began to chant, "Let's go Rangers! Let's go Rangers!" Down on the field, the Dallas Cowboys weren't inspired. But that rallying cry heard during their game Monday night sent a clear message: the Dallas-Fort Worth area is no longer dominated by football.
Game 3 of the World Series will be targeted to teenyboppers, thanks to Justin Bieber. The singer will debut the music video for his song "Never Say Never" on Saturday during Game 3's pre-show.
Matt Cain pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning, Edgar Renteria hit a go-ahead home run and the San Francisco Giants broke away from the Texas Rangers 9-0 on Thursday night for a 2-0 lead in the World Series.
Vladimir Guerrero is not in the Texas Rangers lineup for Game 2 of the World Series.
All season, the San Francisco Giants counted on power arms to overcome a lack of pop at the plate. A whole different team showed up in the World Series opener.
It's the start of a major milestone for the Texas Rangers baseball franchise, but nationally nobody wants them to win.
The Giants used to play in one of the oldest, coldest and most blustery stadiums in the majors before moving into AT&T Park a decade ago. Not much has changed at their waterfront home, where the fog rolls in late and the winds still swirl in the outfield.
Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck is betting the Giants win one more series. Cluck has agreed to a friendly wager with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom as the Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants open up the World Series on Wednesday.
