Congratulations to the Texas Rangers, who won today to clinch the American League West Division title. This is the Rangers' third title since 2010. A year ago, incredibly, the Rangers finished last in the five-team division. Last to first in one year is impressive. This year's team is cohesive and gritty. Our new manager, Jeff Banister, should be the Manager of the Year for turning the team around. Adrian Beltre didn't put up gaudy numbers, but he led this team every step of the way, both offensively and defensively. He is the American League Most Valuable Player, as far as I'm concerned. Up next is the American League Division Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Go Rangers!
