Rangers Win the Pennant!!! Rangers Win the Pennant!!!

Last night we went to the BIGGEST game of our lives!!! Game #6 of the ALCS Rangers against the Yankees....David against Goliath (so they say:)  I tell you what....I have NEVER experienced anything like it!  The game was so electric everyone standing up the WHOLE GAME and it was so loud and people were insane with excitement.  Every time the Rangers got an out the whole crowd exploded with cheers as if it were the last out of the World Series....it was hilariously fun!
I am so happy/thrilled/ELATED that we were able to be at this game....a game that will go down in history.  Although I must say that I am even more thrilled for my husband.  He is the biggest Rangers fan I have ever met.  He is the man that stood behind the Rangers year after year, trade after trade, out after out and if ANYONE deserved to be at this game IT WAS HIM!  I loved seeing his reaction, it was as if he were 10 years old again...so awesome!  He has been waiting 30 years for this....30 years!!!  IT'S ABOUT TIME:)
It was funny when we got our tickets and realized we were section 333 row 23 (right up from 1st base...way up;)....the last row on the upper deck actually.  We weren't sure about how that would go down, I mean would we be able to see anything? Would it not be as exciting WAY up high?....well we were pleasantly surprised when we realized it didn't matter where you were sitting it was AMAZING all over the stadium.  To just be in the ballpark was the biggest blessing ever.
We got some amazing video and pictures....take in the glory, the victory!  It was beyond words, definitely the best day of our baseball life;)  Keep scrolling down the videos are at the bottom...you want to see the videos promise:)



It was not a dream...we woke up this morning and this was on the front of the Star Telegram!

Last out! A Rod striking out!  So awesome!  So ironic...thank you A Rod for finally helping us get to the World Series:)

I was very excited and wanted to get it on record:)

3 outs to go!

 here are the Yankee fans that sat right in front of us.  They were the funniest guys.  All three are NY Fire Fighters and we had a blast heckling them the whole night...they were good sports--minus the time that the middle guy here cussed out the guy in front of him:/  No ones perfect right?:)
