ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers unfurled a World Series championship banner for the first time in franchise history before their season opener on Thursday night against the Chicago Cubs.
The banner was dropped from Globe Life Field’s roof support high above right field. Shortly before, the Commissioner’s Trophy was brought to home plate by manager Bruce Bochy and pitcher Josh Sborz, who recorded the final out in the clinching Game 5 against the Arizona Diamondbacks in November.
“I want to thank you for your tremendous support,” Bochy told the fans.
Championship rings will be presented before the series’ second game on Saturday night.
