Rangers win AL pennant!
Maybe there's something to be said for anniversaries. My family went to a Braves' game in 1991, and I decided not to buy a book they had on sale there about the Braves' first 25 seasons in Atlanta (1966-90). After all, those 25 seasons had had only two postseason appearances and zero postseason wins. But starting that year, the Braves won 14 straight division titles and five NL pennants to go with the 1995 WS.
Last year was the 50th season for the Rangers' franchise, dating back to the expansion Washington DC club in 1961. And they won their first-ever postseason series', and their first league pennant, in that 50th season.
Any other franchises have any anniversaries we need to watch out for?

It was a great series for the Rangers. I'm glad we made past the Tigers. Hopefully, we'll go all the way!
I think Jim Leyland is a class act.

Re: Rangers win AL pennant!
I thought a Game 2 win for the Rangers would be much more important than Game 1. It takes away the Cardinals "happy flight" and their streak of winning travel day games dating back to July. It also gives them the momentum going back to Arlington. I was hoping if the Rangers didn't win Games 1 & 2 they would win Game 2 due to those reasons.
