With the latest mind-blowing victory, Corey Seager has joined an elite list of legends. The World Series ended on a celebratory note for the Texas Rangers as they finally won their first-ever Commissioner’s Trophy. In a sea of cheers for the Lone Star State, the team’s star shortstop has also achieved a huge personal milestone. With his latest Fall Classic MVP win, he stamped his name on an iconic list that none has touched for decades. Corey Seager was made for October.

The months-long journey of the Rangers has ended. While the Arizona Diamondbacks performed remarkably well, a second franchise World Series victory was just not in the cards this year. With the Game 5 win on Wednesday night, Texas has taken the trophy for the first time. In addition to the club, all eyes are on its megastar.

Corey Seager Cements Postseason Legend With Glorious MVP Achievement

Starting from 2015, the 29-year-old shortstop has played two Fall Classics, and astonishingly, he surpassed everyone else as the Most Valuable Player both times. After the 2020 World Series title with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Rangers shortstop achieved his second World Series MVP in 2023. 2020 may have been a COVID-shortened season but Corey Seager was brilliant nevertheless. Somehow, that’s not all for – that year also saw him clinch the NLCS MVP award.

With Wednesday’s heroics,  Corey Seager becomes the fourth player in MLB history to have two Fall Classic MVP awards. Since the inception of the distinction in 1955, Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, and Reggie Jackson are the only other players who won it twice in their careers. Now, the Texas Rangers shortstop has joined these Hall of Famers.

Seager was brilliant in the last five Fall Classic games. He ended the series with .286/.375/.762 with three home runs, six RBI, and 16 total bases on six hits in five games. He took the lead in Game 5 to break Zac Gallen’s no-hitter in the seventh inning. This ultimately combined with three consecutive hits to lead the team toward their first WS victory.

However, baseball is a team game. So besides Seager, several other players share the limelight for their contribution to the massive achievement.

Texas Rangers Crushed Arizona’s Hope on Chase Field

The Rangers went through a rocky season, but their determination was never lacking. After they received a blow in Game 2, they punched the opponent back-to-back three times to win the World Series 4-1. While Corey Seager broke the no-hitter to lead the team, Nathan Eovaldi, the starting pitcher for Texas, also played his part well. He pitched six gritty innings.

Mitch Garver also dominated at the plate in the seventh inning. The slugger broke the scoreless tie with his RBI single. After Game 4, Marcus Semien once again shone with his homer in the ninth inning of Game 5.

Though the regular season was not smooth for the Texas Rangers, they had the right players on their side who finally won the team their first victory.
