Rangers Win World Series at Last; Bruce Bochy Has Funny Comment as He Celebrates His 4th Title

The Texas Rangers have won their first-ever World Series after routing the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 5, 5-0, despite the absence of Adolis Garcia and Max Scherzer.

It was the Rangers' first-ever title, and they achieved it in their first year with manager Bruce Bochy, who arrived in the team at the start of the season.

Before this season, Bochy was without a team after not taking any baseball jobs at the end of the 2019 season.

The 68-year-old coach himself thinks things went quite fast. From being a spectator a year ago, now, he is drenched with Gatorade and water while celebrating the Rangers' title.

"Jeez, I was sittin' in a recliner a year ago. What happened?!" Bochy was heard saying during field celebrations.

Turning serious when he sat down with Fox Sports for a championship interview, he said he returned because he missed the game. He thanked general manager Chris Young as he came at a time when his appetite for the game was coming back to life.

"Then he [Young] give me a call. Talked about his vision," he said.

"I said 'Let's go!' I'm ready to go back. Three years off. I didn't if I can get back in to be honest. I had pretty good life going on out there. I'm glad I did."

Winning one World Series is hard. Winning it four times and for two different teams? That is double the difficulty. That is something Bochy can boast about when he decides to retire.

With this title win, he became only the fourth coach to have at least four MLB titles, next only to Joe McCarthy (7), Casey Stengel (7), and Connie Mack (5). Bochy's latest win is unique from any other World Series title, as he is the only manager to win it for and against the Rangers.
