Team Information
At the beginning of the 70's the Turnpike Stadium was going thru some transformations to increase its seating capacities. They renamed it Arlington Stadium. Also, it was announced that the franchise would be called the Texas Rangers (following the lead of the Minnesota Twins, to name the club after the state).
The team's first game was played in 1972 against the California Angels. It was lost 1-0. The next day the same two teams played again, only this time the Rangers won 5-1, for the club's first victory.
The first four seasons of the Rangers, set what has become a pattern of the franchise in what winning and losing seasons have turned out. They have cycles of poor seasons, followed by an occasional year of near success, followed by disaster the next year.
