For the primary time in franchise historical past, the Texas Rangers are World Series champions, however the champions have been denied a correct birthday celebration Wednesday. The Arizona Diamondbacks had security guard the Chase Field pool following Game 5 on Wednesday, and the Rangers by no means did cross out to the pool.
Here’s the scene:
For what it is value, D-backs president Derrick Hall mentioned any workforce could be allowed to rejoice a clincher within the pool previous this postseason. “They have the right to celebrate wherever they want, however they want,” he mentioned. Apparently that doesn’t observe to the World Series winner. The pool used to be reputedly off-limits Wednesday.
The Los Angeles Dodgers began the Chase Field pool party loopy again in 2013, after they jumped into the pool after clinching the NL West title. Hall later referred to as it “classless,” and the D-backs had security — together with guards fastened on horseback at occasions — guard the pool in next years. Hall mentioned groups may just rejoice within the pool this 12 months, regardless that one thing modified.
A vulnerable transfer through the D-backs, but additionally, I doubt the Rangers care. They’re nonetheless the World Series champions and they are going to have a parade looking forward to them after they go back to Arlington. A pool party would had been beautiful amusing. Texas gets their rings simply the similar.
