Joining 42,000 Rangers Fans, Dallas’ Favorites Luka Doncic and Dirk Nowitzki Light Up the World Series Game 2

Texan fandom is fiercely loyalist in nature, or such is the power of the World Series. That said, there is nothing like an NBA – MLB crossover during the Fall Classic. Out of the many instances when sports people from across the sports realm have come together in support of baseball (and others alike), this particular instance during Game 2 of WS stood out. 

The Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic and NBA Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki treated the Globe Life Field with their presence, on Saturday as the Rangers battle against the Arizona Diamondbacks. They showed up in support of the Texas Rangers, just like how they had earlier in 2023, in Game 4 of the ALCS while the team played against the Houston Astros. Their constant support for Texas goes back to a common history they share with the state. 

The State Holds All Sports Close, Be It Texas Rangers or Dallas Mavericks

The two have a strong bond with Texas owing to the fact that they have played for the Dallas Mavericks. As Game 2 progresses, they join hand with 42000 other fans in Arlington. This is the beauty of multiple sports that have roots in the same state. Not only did the duo delight the fans with their presence in Game 2, but also they might bring in the much-needed winning charm for the Lone Stars. 

After the two appeared on the jumbotron in the sixth inning, the crowd could not keep calm. Despite Arizona Diamondbacks’ win after their strong performance at the bottom of the 6th inning, the two sports celebrities were there to cheer on their favorite MLB team.

The news of Doncic being there for Game 2 was revealed on Friday itself. As a true fan of the sport, Doncic had tweeted that he would be available for in Arlington. Rightly so, he and his fellow Dallas Maverick appeared together.

Other Notable Moments of Game 2

Game 2 of the World Series was one solid nail-biter. It is justified that the game had a great start. Hall of Fame Rangers pitcher Fergie Jenkins received his first pitch from third baseman Adrian Beltre – two of the most capable folks of MLB to involve in the first pitch. There were political figures too that dropped by.

Former President of the United States, George W. Bush, stopped by and watched the game on Saturday night along with his wife. Also, it is to be noted that he threw the ceremonial pitch in Game 1 just a day ago. With that, one can understand the importance of this game in the Fall Classic. With the Diamondbacks, clinching the Game 2 victory, Game 3 will be held on Monday night at Chase Field inPhoenix, Arizona.
