The Texas Rangers were welcomed home from Phoenix Thursday afternoon a day after winning the World Series 4-1 over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The team charter arrived at Love Field at about 4:15 p.m. and was greeted first by a Shower of Affection from two airport fire trucks before being greeted by dozens of screaming fans who had gathered outside the airport fence.
There was no public celebration planned at the airport and the players were not expected to address the media or any fans that were present, though several did stop on the airport apron to take photos and pose with the trophy.
