Texas Rangers are in their dream season. After a months-long baseball fight, the club has reached a point where the biggest championship trophy is only a step away. However, the Arizona Diamondbacks are not an easy competitor. Especially with their ability to instantly turn situations, they seem to be one of the most unpredictable rivals. While standing so close to the trophy, it is the best time to know about the World Series background of the Lone Stars.
The Rangers are giving the Diamondbacks a hard time, even on their home ground. While they lost the second game at Globe Life Field, they are making impressive progress at Chase Field, with a 3-1 series lead. But have the Rangers witnessed the taste of winning the World Series before?

Between 2010 and 2016, the Rangers had five postseason appearances, but they failed it get the trophy every time. The last time they qualified for the World Series fight was in 2010 and 2011. But both times, the opponents took the trophy. In 2010, the San Francisco Giants were the opponent, and they won the trophy in a 4-1 series. The next year, the Rangers again qualified for the Fall Classic, but this time the St. Louis Cardinals took the trophy in a 4-3 series.
However, this season is different. The team is now leading the series against the D-backs and is only one step away from their first championship. After losing Game 2, Texas made an incredible comeback by winning two back-to-back games. It will all come to a close soon enough.
However, the Rangers are not the only team to suffer from a championship drought since their debut. There are a few more unfortunate names on the list.
