Okay, so I was curious about who owns the Texas Rangers baseball team, and I did a little digging. Here’s what I found out.
First, I started by doing a simple web search. You know, just typing “who owns the Texas Rangers” into the search bar. And guess what? The results were pretty straightforward.
It turns out the Texas Rangers are owned by these two guys, Ray Davis and Bob Simpson. They’re the big bosses, the co-chairmen, and the main owners of the team. They took over back in August 2010. Seems like a while ago, right?
Then I stumbled upon some interesting info about a past owner. Apparently, President George W. Bush was involved with the team way back. He put together a group of partners and bought the Rangers in 1989. Then, he became the Governor of Texas in 1994. Kind of a cool little tidbit, huh?
- Ray Davis and Bob Simpson: Current owners since 2010.
- George W. Bush: Former owner, involved in the 1989 purchase.
I also found some stuff about the team’s history. They were originally the Washington Senators and stayed in Washington until 1971. Then, in 1972, they moved to Arlington, Texas, and became the Texas Rangers. That’s when it all changed for them.
Team’s Response on Pride Night
And get this, I found that some people were asking about why the Rangers don’t host a Pride Night. But the team had a pretty consistent answer. They say they want to make everyone feel welcome at their games, no matter what. I read their statement: “Our longstanding commitment remains the same: To make everyone feel welcome and included in Rangers baseball — in our ballpark, at every game.”
Then I decided to dig a little deeper into the financial side of things. Turns out Ray Davis is worth a whopping $1.4 billion! Talk about some serious money. But it looks like the main company behind the Rangers is called Rangers Baseball Express LLC.
Finally, I learned about Nolan Ryan, the legendary pitcher. He was also involved in the ownership at some point. That guy’s a legend on and off the field.
So, yeah, that’s what I found out about who owns the Texas Rangers. It was a fun little research project. I always like learning new things, and this was no different. Hope you found it interesting too!
