The Texas Rangers are a Major League Baseball team based in Arlington , Texas , a suburb in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. They are one of four teams that play in the Western Division of the American League (AL). When the Washington Senators moved to Minnesota and became the Minnesota Twins in 1960, Major League Baseball awarded a team to Washington , D.C. , giving it the name of the old franchise. The team survived for several years, but eventually moved to Arlington , Texas for the 1972 season and renamed itself the Texas Rangers. The 1972 Washington Senators were managed by one of the greatest hitters of all time, Ted Williams. Williams was a two-time Most Valuable Player (MVP) winner who also won the Triple Crown twice and had a lifetime total of 521 home runs. In 1941, he came to the last day of the season with a batting average of .3996, which would be rounded up to .400 and thus make Williams the first man to hit .400 since Bill Terry in 1930. Although his manager left the decision to him, Williams opted to play in both games of a doubleheader and risk losing his record. He got 6 hits in 8 at bats, raising his season average to .406. No one has hit .400 since. Williams served as manager for the Washington Senators and Texas Rangers during the 1960s and early 1970s.The Texas Rangers Hall of Famers include Ferguson Jenkins, Gaylord Perry, Nolan Ryan and Ted Williams (former manager; inducted for his playing career with the Boston Red Sox). The Rangers uniform consists of the colors Blue, White, and Scarlet red; Logo design is a "T" superimposed on a baseball, set inside a circle with " TEXAS " on the top half and "RANGERS" on the bottom. The Rangers and Angels are the longest running AL franchises still waiting to win their first pennant. The Rangers have never even advanced to a League Championship Series. The Rangers have won four American League West Division titles (1994, 1996, 1998, and 1999). The home ballpark of the Texas Rangers is the Ameriquest Field in Arlington (2004-present), which was known as the "The Ballpark in Arlington " until May 2004 and has a seating capacity of 49,115. It was constructed as a replacement for Arlington Stadium.
