World Series

Well last night, the Rangers lost their first trip to the World Series. It was a great season and a great run in the playoffs. While I am sad the Rangers lost 4 to 1 to the Giants, I am greatful for the experience.

It was thrilling to watch my "little" Rangers make it to the World Series but it was even more fun to watch what it did to our household. Our household caught Ranger fever and I loved it.

Shelley and the boys all took an interest in what was happening and even got their own Ranger shirts. They also even watched some of the games with me.

But the biggest thrill for me is the interest the boys, in particular Seth, took in the Rangers. They both started learning the players and Colby Lewis became Seth's favorite Ranger (along with Michael Young since he got a Michael Young shirt). We would go out in the backyard and play the Rangers. Last night Seth was Colby Lewis, Chase was C.J. Wilson and I was Josh Hamilton. Then once it got dark, the boys would play in the living room. They were even including the Rangers in their prayers at night.

I will remember this World Series forever not because of the outcome but because of what we shared as a family. I hope the boys will have fond memories and maybe this will be the beginning of a new generation of Ranger fans.
