The Rangers have been contenders for several straight seasons. They made back-to-back World Series a few years ago, the first of which they lost pretty convincingly to the SF Giants, but the second of which they lost in a CLASSIC, all-time great World Series in 7 games to the St. Louis Cardinals.
The 2011 World Series game 6 was one of the greatest games of baseball ever played. The Rangers were within 1 out (even 1 strike!!) of winning the World Series on multiple occasions but the Cardinals just wouldn't go down.
The highlights, since there's never a bad time to relive the incredible magic that took place in that game and I'm even the biggest Cardinals hater ever:
This recent year they made a pretty significant roster change by trading Ian Kinsler for Prince Fielder, which was a good trade for both teams tbh. This year they're still a very solid team and have one of the best pitchers in the sport in Yu Darvish.
That's pretty much all the basic info I can give.
The running of the club I know much less about. I would probably know more if I lived in Texas and was specifically a Rangers fan but I'm not.
