Rangers Celebrate With The Team In Mind


The Texas Rangers just won the American League Divisional Series over the Tampa Bay Rays, and they celebrated a little differently than most teams. One of their players, Josh Hamilton, is a recovering alcoholic and they decided to keep the bubbly away from him.

This is a group of guys who understand what a team is all about. These guys could have easily decided to celebrate like most teams do, and like they probably dreamed of, by breaking out the bottles of champagne. Yet, they knew it would keep one of their teammates away from the celebration. And they weren't about to let a tradition get in the way of the unity of their team.

It's easy to cheer for a group of guys who "get it" like this group of Rangers get it.
