How Many World Series Rings Does Texas Have? A Deep Dive (Kind Of)
Ah, Texas. Land of barbeque, wide-open spaces, and...well, not a whole lot of World Series victories. But hey, at least they've got the Stetson hats, right?
The Not-So-Glittering Past
For many moons, Texas baseball fans (yes, they do exist!) were about as familiar with World Series glory as a tumbleweed is with a traffic jam. Years rolled by, seasons came and went, and the closest the Lone Star State came to baseball nirvana was that one time Nolan Ryan threw a no-hitter while nursing a hangover (allegedly).

But then, in the year of our lord 2023, something magical happened. The Texas Rangers, those plucky underdogs (or so the narrative goes), defied the odds and emerged victorious from the crucible of the World Series! Confetti rained down, champagne corks popped, and folks in Dallas finally had something to brag about besides the size of their belt buckles.
So, How Many World Series Wins Do They Have?
Drumroll please...
The Texas Rangers have a whopping ONE World Series title. That's right, folks, just a single, solitary championship. But hey, you gotta start somewhere, right? Maybe next year they'll snag another one and finally dethrone the New York Yankees as the undisputed kings of baseball bling.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Let's Face It, One Title Isn't Exactly a Dynasty)
Here are some fun facts to keep you entertained while you ponder the vast emptiness of Texas' World Series trophy case:
- The Rangers' 2023 World Series win was their first ever. They'd made it to the big dance twice before, but both times they ended up with participation trophies (and a whole lot of heartbreak).
- Their victory sparked wild celebrations across the state, with reports of lone stars being sighted doing the two-step on top of armadillos (don't ask, it's a Texas thing).
- Some grumpy fans (probably from New York or Boston) like to point out that the Rangers only won because they, quote-unquote, "bought their way to victory." To which we say, sour grapes much? A win is a win, no matter how much money you throw at it.
The Future of Texas Baseball
So, will the Texas Rangers become a dominant force in Major League Baseball? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: they've got a taste of victory now, and they're not likely to forget it anytime soon. How many more World Series rings they'll add to their collection remains to be seen, but hey, at least they're not stuck counting participation trophies anymore.
