When Neftali Feliz's slider slid past Alex Rodriguez to make the Rangers the 2010 American League Champions, I had no words.
I remember the day I "became" a Rangers fan. I was walking around, thinking really hard about which team was my favorite baseball team. I kept going back and forth between the Rangers, the Athletics, the Blue Jays, and the Mets. The Rangers were the home team; the A's had Rickey Henderson; the Jays were the best team in baseball; and the Mets were just plain exciting (little did I know that they frequently engage in buying up established stars who promptly forget how to play). I thought to myself, "I always come back to the Rangers." Then they traded for Jose Canseco, Kevin Brown won 21 games, and "they" became "we."
That was 1992. This is 2010. Eighteen years in the making, I am finally rooting for the American League champions.
