After three-plus months of celebration, it's back to work for the Texas Rangers, defending their first-ever title.

The first weekend is in the books of 2024 as the Texas Rangers start their journey to protect their title. It was a weekend filled with joyfulness, determination, anxiousness, and possibly some angst to end the last game.
