Washington takes over Texas
2006-11-06 07:19
by Bob Timmermann

It's just the opposite of the U.S. Presidency from 1963-1969, 1989-1993, and from 2001 to the present!

Ron Washington is the new manager in Texas. Washington has been a coach for Oakland the past 11 seasons.

Thanks to reader EricGagnesGoggles for the pointer.

I recently took a look at the Rangers' history, and it's quite remarkable.

Counting their years as the Washington Senators (yet another Texas-Washington connection!), they have

1. 46 seasons
2. 16 winning seasons
3. 3 division championships
4. 3 post-season appearances
5. A combined 1-9 post-season record, all against the Yankees

I was wavering on that one, but I was going by what the Electoral College ballots said.
